«La Résurrection de Mozart» is a short story by Russian writer Nina Berberova, published by Actes Sud in 1988 in paperback (206 pages, in French).
With the imminent arrival of German troops in Paris, some Russian émigrés fantasize about the possibility of bringing something from the past to life. One of them chooses Mozart, and that evocation gives rise to a story about memory, art, and exile.
The work was written in Russian under the title «Воскресение Моцарта»; this French edition is completed with the catalogue of Actes Sud's tenth anniversary (1978-1988).
For readers of short fiction interested in Russian exile literature and in editions that incorporate additional material from the publisher.
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.
