A Snowy Night Drama. An investigative novel about the fate and criminal case of Sukhovo-Kobylin.
14.99 €
In November 1850, a Frenchwoman with whom Alexander Vasilyevich Sukhovo Kobylin (1817-1903) lived eight years in a secret love affair, is found brutally murdered in the snowdrifts of Khodynskoe Field near Moscow. A criminal investigation begins, and the evidence points to him - a young and rich baron, a famous aristocrat, gambler and donzhuana, the future author of "The Wedding of Krechinsky", "The Case" and "The Death of Tarelkin", whose work developed under the direct and hidden influence of the accusation of a serious crime. Did the Russian classicist commit an atrocity? Was he involved in it? How could he write a great comedy, being in prison under the threat of hard labor? To find out, the writer Vladislav Otroshenko worked for several years with archival documents and an authentic copy of the case of the murder of Louise Simon Demanche, intended for the highest members of the State Council.
