[Correction to previous post]
I couldn't find a reference to Leonid Pasternak when I searched ADAonline. Here's my ADAonline note on Eugene and Lara:
13.22-23<http://www.ada.auckland.ac.nz/ada12.htm#13.22>: "Eugene and Lara" or "Lenore Raven": "Eugene and Lara" seems to be the adaptation of Eugene Onegin that we have watched with Demon. "Lara" fuses the two Larina girls, Tatiana and her sister Olga (as "d'Onsky," on a different plane, fuses Onegin and Lensky), with a glance at Lara, the heroine of Dr. Zhivago (1958) by Boris Pasternak (1890-1960), a novel that will provide a major motif later in Ada. Cf. the equally absurd distortion of Pushkin's and Chaikovsky's title in "Tshchaikow's opera Onegin and Olga" (158.06). The confusion of two sisters (Aqua and Marina, Ada and Lucette) forms a major structural principle in Ada.
Alexey, where did you think you came across my identifying Dr Zhivago as by Leonid Pasternak?
Thanks for the other suggestions, as always.
