Heirs. An Extravagant Story

Beginning writer Arthur Etchingham-Granger dreams of creating a masterpiece and gaining recognition. But for now, his lot is humble side jobs, empty tea parties with fellow writers, and complete indifference from readers. Everything changes when he meets an emancipated foreign woman who claims to have come to England from the mysterious Fourth Dimension to forever disrupt the established order of the world. Their acquaintance sets off an incredible chain of events: while the girl gains influence in European elites, Arthur finds himself just steps away from literary fame, the price of which, however, may be too high. An equally surprising union at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries was formed by the author of «Heart of Darkness» Joseph Conrad and the future creator of «The End of the Parade» Ford Madox Ford. Their experimental novel, at the intersection of political detective, social satire, and science fiction, continues the joint series of translations by Yandex Books and «Subscription Editions».
