Ispoved scastlivogo celoveka. Pisma-iz tiurmy

Translated title: Confession of a Happy Man. Letters from Prison
Author: Polina, Breiter
Genre: Social Novel / Short Stories
Year: 2022 | Pages: 480 | Origin: RUS | BA Seq Num: 88359
The novel 'Confessions of a Happy Man. Letters from Prison' is on par with the recent world bestseller 'Orange is the New Black'. But Polina Breiter, our former compatriot, from Odessa (not guilty of anything, unlike the heroine of the American book), spent 15 months in an American prison.
This human document is unique. Perhaps, occasionally, people just as honest, sincere and open end up in American prisons, but it is very unlikely that they are also capable of accepting everything that happens to them as an opportunity for spiritual growth, reflecting on what they have experienced and conveying their experience and observations in simple, but true and accurate words.
Here are not only the feelings and experiences of the heroine, but also a conversation about the peculiarities of American justice, and a description of everyday life in a women's prison, and remarkable psychological portraits of fellow prisoners - murderers, drug dealers, etc

One evening, as district police officer Viktor Ivanov returns home from his shift, he hears a woman's desperate scream. Rushing to the scene, he finds a woman lying on the ground, only for a man to flee into the nearby gateway. Unable to catch the criminal, Viktor returns to find that the victim has mysteriously vanished.
Investigator Captain Alexei Lobanov is assigned to the case and learns the woman's name is Tatyana Rogacheva, a bookstore worker. The fleeing man is her brother, Artem, known for extorting money from his sister. At first, Captain Lobanov considers the incident a simple family dispute. But as he delves deeper, the case takes an unexpected, dangerous turn that threatens to uncover far more than anyone anticipated.
A thrilling tale of crime, secrets, and the relentless pursuit of justice in the heart of Soviet Russia

Before the reader unfolds Moscow at the end of the thaw, bohemian and creative.
