Pavel Basinski – The Secret Life of Liza Dyakonova, World English rights sold to Glagoslav
new sale
World English rights for Pavel Basinski’s narrative non-fiction title THE SECRET LIFE OF LIZA DYAKONOVA have been sold to Glagoslav.
1902, Austria, the Tyrolean Alps. The young Russian, Liza Dyakonova, the very first Russian student of law at the Sorbonne University in Paris, interrupted her journey from Paris to Russia to stay with her aunt in Tyrol. During her visit she set off alone for a hike in the mountains and did not return. It is only a month later that the naked body of the young woman is found by a hill farmer on the bank of a mountain stream. Is it murder or suicide?
With great sensitivity, but also with great conviction, Basinski leads us closer to the psyche of this young, brave and spirited intellectual, and to her struggle with the traditionalists in society, her environment and her family. On the one hand brave and radically progressive, on the other tragically trapped by her own circumstances, she had the potential to become a guiding figure of European feminism, if her fate had been known or, alternatively, not completely neglected by the Russian intellectuals. The re-discovery of this exceptional woman may well correct this.
