Vienna, Austria-Hungary, early 20th century. Europe on the eve of the First World War. Egon Schiele is a young man with oddities and too extravagant for his time as an artist. His paintings are dark, provocative, overly frank, they shamelessly exposed both bodies and souls. At the time, it was hard to imagine that someday he would be called a brilliant expressionist. Schiele's life is woven with contradictions. He barely enters the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts and scandalously leaves it. He lives on a pittance, selling his erotic drawings in back alleys, then exhibits in the largest galleries in Europe. Today he changes models and mistresses like gloves, and tomorrow suddenly decides to become a respectable family man and father. But in 1918 the merciless Spanish flu reached Vienna. Egon Schiele died when he was only 28 years old. For the first time in Russian - a biographical novel about Schiele, about his short life and complex creative path. A protégé and close friend of the great Gustav Klimt, he became one of the most discussed and interesting figures in the history of art of the XX century.
