Title : Astashev in Paris - Nina Berberova - book
Summary :
We are all mortal. One day, She will come... and everything will be over... What will happen to our loved ones then? Isn't our duty to protect them against want? This is how Astachev speaks to his clients. A cold, merciless speech. When he evokes the supreme moment, some, frightened, turn him away, others think of the Last Judgment, some sign the death contract... But who is Astachev? Sent from the beyond, staging the fifth act, the curtain, the finale? A simple citizen, taxpayer, consumer, going in the heat, in the rain, from door to door, like a discreet shadow, in a hurry to conclude? Or an unscrupulous gravedigger... Perhaps quite simply a coward, as evidenced by his affair with Genia, a little cinema cashier whom he pushes to the last extremity...
