14.99 €
1902. Austria. Tyrol ... Russian Sorbonne student Liza Diakonova goes alone into the mountains and does not return. The best guides search for her, but she disappears without a trace. Only a month later, a local shepherd accidentally sees her body on the edge of a waterfall ledge. It will strike everyone that the body was naked, with her clothes tied in a knot lying nearby. In Diakonova's traveling trunk, the manuscript of her novel, Diary of a Russian Woman, will be discovered. It will be published and will cause a flurry of responses. Vasily Rozanov will call it the best work written by a woman in Russian literature.
Pavel Basinsky, a well-known writer and journalist, winner of the "Big Book" award, based his "non-fictional novel" on the material from Diakonova's diary and archive, about the fate of one of the first Russian feminists who tried to prove something to the world. He conducts his own investigation to explain what really happened in the Austrian Tyrol and why the life of this Russian Jane Eyre turned out to be so tragic.
