«C'est moi qui souligne» is the autobiography of Russian writer Nina Berberova, published by Actes Sud in paperback (624 pages, in French).
Nina Berberova recalls her childhood in St Petersburg, the Russian Revolution, her life in the Paris of emigration and occupation, and her arrival in the United States. The narrative combines personal memory with a testimony to the exile of the Russian intelligentsia and traces Berberova's literary evolution.
The work was originally published in Russian in 1969 under the title «Курсив мой»; the French translation is by Anne and René Misslin. The book received the Gutenberg Prize in 1990.
For readers of memoirs and Russian literature, and for those who want a glimpse of the twentieth century through an exiled voice.
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.
