Pasternak had two 'false starts': he first planned to be a professional pianist like his mother, then as a student in Germany he considered a career in philosophy#Pasternak's childhood was steeped in culture. Tolstoy was a visitor at his parents' house, as was the composer Scriabin#Although Pasternak turned it down, four Russian writers have won the Nobel Prize for literature: Ivan Bunin, Mikhail Sholokhov, Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Joseph Brodsky#"The writer is the Faust of modern society, the only surviving individualist in the modern age," said Pasternak. "To his orthodox contemporaries he seems a madman."#Pasternak, who died in 1960, is buried in a churchyard across the valley from his former home
