A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

A year before I started going to university, I watched Doctor Zhivago (1968) which is a cinema adaptation of the Boris Pasternak novel (winner of the 1958 Nobel prize) which tells the love story between the doctor and poet Yuri Zhivago and Lara Antipova, in the middle of the first world war and the russian revolution.

This Hollywood super production impressed me so much from the incredible landscapes to the history of this country, and from this day, Russia is a country that interests me in many aspects.

In the first place: their culture. I have tried to read some books of famous Russian writers like Lev Tolstoi and Fiodor Dostoievsky, and although I have finished just a few books, because there are so long and complicated, but what I have read I liked it a lot.

Also, I like their classical music. It is very special, because is a mixture between the European tradition and oriental sounds (for example Rimsky-Korsakov music).

Really, the only thing that I like about Russia is their culture, and this I can enjoy from Chile, and Doctor Zhivago was filmed in España because the book was prohibited in the URSS.
