«Il giunco mormorante» is the novel by Nina Berberova, published by Adelphi in 1990, in paperback (79 pages, in Italian).
The narrative follows two lovers who part in Paris at the start of the war and meet again years later in Stockholm. A secret story had been woven between them, later eclipsed by their life together; the novel explores what remains of that bond and how to protect the part of life that no one knows about.
The edition belongs to the Piccola Biblioteca Adelphi collection (no. 249), with a translation by Donatella Sant'Elia. The original work, Мыслящий тростник, was published in 1958.
A work for readers of Russian fiction and twentieth-century classics interested in stories about love, freedom and memory.
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.
