Two novels by Nina Berberova in one volume. 'The Accompanist' tells the story of a young woman who accompanies an opera singer, while 'The Lackey and the Harlot' explores the lives of marginalized characters in Russian society. Both stories are set in post-revolutionary Russia and explore themes of identity, exile, and survival.
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.
