Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Baroness Maria Ignatievna Zakrevskaya Benckendorff Budberg hailed from the Russian aristocracy and lived in the lap of luxury-until the Bolshevik Revolution forced her to live by her wits. Thereafter her existence was a story of connivance and stratagem, a succession of unlikely twists and turns. Intimately involved in the mysterious Lockhart affair, a conspiracy which almost brought down the fledgling Soviet state, mistress to Maxim Gorky and then to H.G. Wells, Moura was a woman of enormous energy, intelligence, and charm whose deepest passion was undoubtedly the mythologization of her own life.Recognized as one of the great masters of Russian twentieth-century fiction, Nina Berberova here proves again that she is the unsurpassed chronicler of the lives of Soviet emigres. In Moura Budberg, a woman who shrouded the facts of her life in fiction, Berberova finds the ideal material from which to craft a triumph of literary portraiture, a book as engaging and as full of life and incident as any one of her celebrated novels. Translated into English for the first time, this is a portrait of the Baroness Budberg, who was intimately involved in the Lockhart affair--a conspiracy which almost brought down the fledgling Soviet state--and also a mistress to Maxim Gorky and then to H.G. Wells. B&W photos. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781590171370
