These are the earliest notebooks of the journal Marie Bashkirtseff began at twelve, filled with the whims, enthusiasms and miseries of a precocious girl living among Russian émigrés in Nice and Paris. She records concerts, flirtations, quarrels over who blushed at whom, her ambitions and her dread of dying unknown, in entries from the mid-1870s.
A vivid record of a young mind from the diarist whose published journal fascinated readers across Europe. Download the free EPUB.
