«La Musique d'une vie» is the novel by Andreï Makine, published by POINTS in paperback (144 pages, in French).
An old pianist waits for a train that never comes on a stormy night in the Urals and recalls his life. Alexeï Berg's first concert was scheduled for 1941, but the war prevented it and his existence took another course, marked by love, death and the dignity of the defeated; the novel is a tribute to the inner resistance of the human spirit.
The novel won the Grand Prix RTL-Lire 2001. It was originally published in 2001 and this Points edition is from 2002.
For readers of historical fiction and contemporary French literature, especially those interested in 20th-century Russia and stories about war.
