Pasternak,as a recorder of the trauma of the times,his "Doctor Zhivago" reflects the general survival of intellectuals under the wave of Russian exile in the 20 th century.Russian literature in exile is closely related to the exile experience of intellectuals,Russian cultural traditions,the status of intellectuals in the country,and domestic political changes.Russian intellectuals in exile generally transition from exile on a real level to exile on a spiritual level.Pasternak was hailed by Isaiah Berlin as an "exile within the motherland",and Zhivago in "Doctor Zhivago" also suffered mainly from spiritual exile.Dr.Zhivago’s spiritual exile is embodied in the characteristics of intellectuals’ ideals being separated from reality,intellectuals’ marginality and rootlessness.Mainly reflected in: through the description of Zhivago’s revolutionary concept changes and the choice of love to illustrate how Zhivago’s ideals are divorced from reality;Doctor Zhivago’s marginalization is divided into forced marginalization and active marginalization,showing In Zhivago,he affirms the value of ordinary people’s daily life and keeps a distance from politics;Doctor Zhivago’s rootlessness is explained by thinking about the topic of how individuals survive in history.Pasternak constructed the elements of Russian polytheism contained in the exiled intellectuals,the wandering goals pursued by the "spiritual wanderers" and the cultural mission of the Christian saint culture.Mainly manifested in: the natural elements of Russian polytheism have influenced the intellectuals’ view of nature;the spiritual wandering goal of the exile refers to the pursuit of Russia’s "City of God" and "City of the Future";the cultural mission of the exile refers to Intellectuals claim to be the savior and carrier of Russian culture,and believe that culture can save Russia.Finally,the content of the full text is summarized and sublimated,and the theme of "spiritual exile" runs through it,which makes up for the lack of grasp of single-theme research,but also provides a new perspective for the research of spiritual exile in "Doctor Zhivago".
