Vienna, Austria-Hungary, the beginning of the XX century. Europe on the eve of the First World War. Egon Shile is a young man with oddities and an artist too extravagant for his time. His paintings are gloomy, provocative, too frank, both bodies and souls are shamelessly naked on them. Then it was difficult to imagine that someday he would be called a brilliant expressionist. Shile"s life is woven from contradictions. He can hardly enter the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts and leaves it with a scandal. It lives on pennies, selling its erotic drawings in the gateway, it is exhibited in the largest galleries in Europe. Today, he changes the sweatshots and mistresses like gloves, and tomorrow he suddenly decides to become a respectable family man and father. But in 1918, a merciless Spanish flu reached Vienna. Egon Shile died when he was only 28 years old. For the first time in Russian - a biographical novel about Shile, about his short life and a complex creative path. The protege and close friend of the great Gustav Klimt, he became one of the most discussed and most interesting figures in the history of art of the 20th century
