Nina Berberova, determined to become a poet, fled Russia. In 1950 she arrived in the United States, where she studied English and became a professor at Yale, Columbia, and Princeton. This is the story of a woman who sought her place in the world through writing and teaching. A biography that explores the life of a Russian exile and her adaptation to a new culture.
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.
