Procrustean bed (Stepan Rannikov)

Описание книги:

A stage. A myth. A womans descent into the abyss of her own desire. Rebecca, a young Jewish woman living in 1920s Warsaw, is trapped in a life of quiet desperation. Married to the kind but oblivious Isaac, she spends her days adrift in a sea of unfulfilled longing, her pregnancy only deepening her sense of isolation. But everything changes when she stumbles upon a mysterious theater hidden in the shadows of the citys underbelly. The sign above the door reads: Daily Performance: The Bed of Procrustes. Adults Only. But the theater is more than just a stage; it is a machine of exploitation, a place where women like Rebecca are groomed, used, and sold to the highest bidder. Zosima and his accomplices—Wojciech, the golden-haired brute, and Miroslava, the hetaera with a taste for cruelty—push Rebecca to the brink of her own humanity.
