«La Musique d'une Vie» is the literary fiction novel by writer Andreï Makine, published by Seuil in paperback (132 pages, in French).
The pianist Alexeï Berg awaits his first concert on 24 May 1941, a milestone that would close the years of terror for his family. The concert never takes place and his life changes course: nameless love, familiarity with death and the dignity of the defeated, in a story about the strength of the spirit and inner resistance.
The novel belongs to the Cadre rouge collection and was awarded the Grand Prix RTL-Lire in 2001.
For those seeking a brief read of historical and literary fiction, with music and war as the backdrop.
