Description

The Russian Interpreter is a story about an unlikely affair between two people who speak no common language. A mercurial Moscow blonde and a visiting British businessman find themselves in need of an interpreter, diverting the life of a young academic from his thesis to become embroiled in the deceptions of love and East-West relations. After the death of Stalin in 1952, the Soviet Union opened its doors to the rest of the world. Drawing on his experience at Moscow University in the late 1950s, Michael Frayn captures a country still recovering from the Second World War, with its unique blend of harshness and ease-going nature. Michael Frayn is a celebrated author known for his plays and novels that explore complex relationships and the intricacies of human interaction.
