"Five of the six novellas...are brilliantly evocative of the incestuous, impoverished and courageous life of the Russian enclave in Paris...." Publisher's noteThe greatest collection by one of the great Russian writers is now back in print. First published in Europe in the 1930s and '40s, these searing, evocative stories by the late émigré writer Nina Berberova (1901-1993) are portraits of the lives of Russian exiles in Paris on the eve of World War II. The protagonists range from housekeepers and waiters to shabby-genteel aristocrats and intellectuals—but all are united in a haunting displacement from their pasts, and all share a troubling uncertainty about the future. AnnotationThe short fiction collected here, featuring Russian TmigrTs in Paris on the brink of World War II, was originally published in Russian in the 1930s and 1940s. Waiters, maids, and aristocrats share a common sense of displacement and crisis of identity, isolated from the world of their memories, while embarking on the shaky future of a world almost at war. Berberova (1901-1993) was named Chevalier of the French Order of Arts and Letters.
