尤里·日瓦戈是西伯利亚富商的儿子,但很小便被父亲遗弃。10岁丧母成了孤儿。舅父把他寄养在莫斯科格罗梅科教授家。教授一家待他很好,让他同女儿东尼娅一起受教育。日瓦戈大学医科毕业后当了外科医生,并同东尼娅结了婚。 第一次世界大战爆发后日瓦戈应征入伍,在前线野战医院工作。十月革命胜利后日瓦戈从前线回到莫斯科。他欢呼苏维埃政权的诞生:“多么高超的外科手术!一下子就娴熟地割掉腐臭的旧溃疡!直截了当地对一个世纪以来的不义下了裁决书……这是从未有过的壮举,这是历史上的奇迹!”但革命后的莫斯科供应极端困难,日瓦戈一家濒临饿死的边缘,他本人又染上了伤寒症。这时他同父异母的弟弟叶夫格拉夫·日瓦戈劝他们全家搬到乌拉尔去,在那儿至少不至于饿死。 1918年4月日瓦戈一家动身到东尼娅外祖父的领地瓦雷金诺村去。这里虽然能维持生活,但日瓦戈感到心情沉闷。他既不能行医,也无法写作。他经常到附近的尤里亚金市图书馆去看书。他在图书馆里遇见女友拉拉。拉拉是随同丈夫巴沙·安季波夫到尤里亚金市来的。 巴沙·安季波夫参加了红军,改名为斯特列利尼科夫,成了红军高级指挥员。他躲避拉拉,不同她见面。日瓦戈告诉拉拉,斯特列利尼科夫是旧军官出身,不会得到布尔什维克的信任。他们一旦不需要党外军事专家的时侯,就会把他踩死。不久日瓦戈被游击队劫去当医生。他在游击队里呆了一年多之后逃回尤里亚金市。他岳父和妻子东尼娅已返回莫斯科,从那儿又流亡到国外。随着红军的胜利,党外军事专家已成为镇压对象。首当其冲的便是拉拉的丈夫斯特列利尼科夫,他已逃跑。拉拉和日瓦戈随时有被捕的危险。他们躲到空无一人的瓦雷金诺去。坑害过他们两人的科马罗夫斯基律师来到瓦雷金诺,骗走了拉拉。斯特列利尼科夫也到这儿来寻找妻子,但拉拉已被骗走。斯特列利尼科夫悲痛欲绝,开枪自杀。瓦雷金诺只剩下日瓦戈一人。他为了活命,徒步走回莫斯科。他在莫斯科又遇见弟弟叶夫格拉夫。弟弟把日瓦戈安置在一家医院里当医生。日瓦戈上班的第一天心脏病发作,猝然死在人行道上。
