Thirty-Three Monsters.

Legends were told about this woman. Lydia Dmitrievna Zinovyeva-Anibal (1866-1907) was a Russian writer of the Silver Age, the wife of the symbolist, poet, and playwright Vyacheslav Ivanov. She was called Diotima in honor of the beautiful and wise priestess... from Plato's famous dialogue "The Symposium".
In 1906-1907, Lydia Dmitrievna wrote the grandiose and scandalous novella "Thirty-Three Monsters." The novella became a true provocation, a rebellion by Zinovyeva-Anibal against her own "bright" image of the muse. The main heroine manifests something new: "I will teach you to be yourself".
The collection also includes stories from the cycle "The Tragic Beastarium" - a book cherished by figures of the early 20th century: it was highly valued by M. Tsvetaeva, and its plots are traced in "Heavenly Camels" by E. Guro and "Beastarium" by V. Khlebnikov.
