The article is an investigation in the field of the poetics of titles. The table of contents of ‘Doctor Zhivago' has been analysed as a relatively independent text constituting a carefully designed system of inner titles. The interchange of the semes ‘circle' and ‘arrow' takes places in the titles of prosaic parts which refers the reader to Zhivago's poem ‘Winter Night'. The sequence of the semantic fields ‘man- in-the-nature' and ‘man-in-the-history' has been discoverd in the totality of the poems' titles. It refers the reader to the reasoning about Christianity in the initial part of the novel. The key role in the system of the table of contents is occupied by the semantics of eternity manifesting itself in the mythopoetical image of the world tree which constitutes the architectonic foundation of the novel. The table of contents itself represents the scheme of the world tree organized by the double ‘golden ratio'.
