Russians in America, Americans in Russia, the Babel's Tower of mixed cultures in the 1990s, confusion, attraction, love - such is the emotional and historical background of the new novella by this distinguished writer. At the center is the rich American Debby, who undertakes to invest money in a documentary on Russia. Disorderly, unpredictable, touching, amorous, drinking as much as Russian men, compassionate, capricious, she gives herself heart and soul to whatever feeling overtakes her and lets it draw her down to her next failure in life.

Rosenstock-Huessy (1888-1973) was among those German cultural figures who left Germany in 1933, when Hitler came to power. He knew and was close to many outstanding religious thinkers: N. Berdyaev, M. Buber, Harvey Cox, Paul Tillich. He spent the second half of his life in USA, and taught at Harvard and Dartmouth College. In this work the author develops an original scheme of European history over the last 1000 years and studies the effect on it of revolutionary upheavals as principal constitutive forces (like geological cataclysms shaping the earth's crust). The originality of Rosenstock-Huessy's thought is that he tries to discover the connections between fateful events and the individual human will, between the passions of history and the passions of the soul.
