In 1936, Shostakovich, fears for his livelihood and his life. Stalin has taken a sudden interest in his work and denounced his latest opera. Now, certain he will be exiled to Siberia, Shostakovich reflects on his predicament, his personal history, his parents, various women and wives, and his children. / En 1936 Stalin asiste a una representación de Lady Macbeth de Mtsenk de Dmitri Shostakóvich y después aparece en Pravda un demoledor editorial que acusa al compositor de desviacionista y decadente. Un texto aprobado o acaso escrito de su puño y letra por el propio Stalin. Son los años del Gran Terror, y el músico sabe que una acusación como ésa puede significar la deportación a Siberia o directamente la muerte. Pero Shostakóvich sobrevive, y, ya muerto Stalin, acaba consagrado como uno de los grandes creadores soviéticos, pero por el camino deja una parte de su alma, de su dignidad y de su ambición artística. En esta novela tan hermosa como terrible, Julian Barnes aborda las dolorosas decisiones que tuvo que tomar el compositor en unos momentos históricos sombríos, e indaga en la difícil supervivencia del arte en tiempos de barbarie.
