"To Ivan Malinovsky I feel so sorry that you spend your time and efforts to translate this book which seems so strange and of little value; I'm so happy that the time when people wrote and thought in such a way have passed. What a good fortune that Ghivago would appear or has already appeared in Danish thanks to your translation. It justify me and connect us. Let us part friends. I wish you happy return home. Boris Pasternak."
