«La acompañante: El lacayo y la puta» is the novel by Nina Berberova, published by Seix Barral in paperback (190 pages, in Spanish).
The work brings together two pieces set in the Paris of Russian émigrés: the story of Tanja, who travels from St Petersburg to the French capital, and that of the footman, a former tsarist officer turned waiter. With precise strokes, the author portrays survival and degradation in exile, saving the denouement for the final lines.
It belongs to the Biblioteca de Bolsillo collection; translation by Enrique Sordo and Carolina Rosés of the original Akkompaniatorsha; Lakeï devka.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in the Russian exile and in Nina Berberova's short narrative.
Nina Nikolayevna Berberova was a Russian writer who chronicled the lives of anti-communist Russian refugees in Paris in her short stories and novels. She visited post-Soviet Russia. Her 1965 revision of the Constance Garnett translation of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina with Leonard J. Kent was considered by the academic Zoja Pavlovskis-Petit to be the best translation before 2000.
