Путешествие во тьме

The novel by the famous English writer Jean Rhys (1890-1979) "Journey in Darkness" (1934) was perceived in its time as a real revelation. For the first time, the tragedy of forced wandering is shown through the prism of the experiences of an ordinary person, and not an artist or writer. The story of a girl born on one of the Caribbean islands, who tried to find shelter and peace of mind in her father's homeland, in dank and foggy London, sounds very modern. The inner world of the heroine is conveyed with rare subtlety and accuracy, thanks to a special, restrained-tense intonation. The novel is published in Russian for the first time.
