«Chaikovski» is the biography of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky written by Nina Berberova, published by El País Aguilar in paperback (328 pages, in Spanish).
Nina Berberova traces the portrait of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky as a celebrated composer and tormented man. Written in Paris between 1936 and 1937, the biography does not hide the most scandalous facets of his life and shows how music became the territory where genius suffered and triumphed against the everyday.
The Spanish edition was published on March 1, 1990; the work originally appeared in 1937 as Tchaïkovski, within the Aguilar Maior collection.
For classical music enthusiasts and readers of historical biographies, with an interest in nineteenth-century Russian composers.
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.
