More about the book
Set in post-World War I Berlin, this phantasmal autobiography explores the life of Fyodor Godunov-Cherdynstev, a writer immersed in the Russian intellectual scene. The narrative intricately weaves together themes of literature and beauty, with a focus on Fyodor's literary ambitions. Rather than a romantic interest, the true heroine is the rich tapestry of Russian prose and poetry that shapes his identity and aspirations.
