«L'acompanyant» is the novel by Nina Nikolaevna Berberova, published by Llibres del Trapezi in paperback (89 pages, in Catalan).
A pianist raised in St Petersburg in a home marked by the shame of being an illegitimate daughter and a brilliant soprano living in luxury go into exile in Paris after the October Revolution. While the singer triumphs, the pianist remains in her shadow, caught between hatred and love, envy and veneration.
Work originally published in 1935; Catalan translation by Natàlia Díez i Ruiz de los Paños.
For readers of short novels and Russian literature who appreciate intimate stories about exile and female relationships.
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.
