Description

Fans of Japrisot will surely be surprised by the simplicity and artlessness of this novel’s style. The fact is that “A Doomed Beginning” is the first work by the famous author of “The Sleeping Car Murders,” “Trap for Cinderella,” and other books that brought Japrisot worldwide fame. The recognized master of the detective genre wrote his debut novel at the age of seventeen, and it was a novel about love—the first, mutual, and doomed love of a fourteen-year-old pupil of a Catholic school and a young nun. This book brought the author the first literary prize of his life—the “Unanimité” (“Unanimity”) award. The novel is published in Russian for the first time.
