The caves dotted along the shore are little more than stone notches, half-clogged with silt and slipped earth. The question is, which one do you dig into?

Success

A little box

[…]your spade hits[…] little wooden chest[…]. The seal […] of the Ministry of Public Decency. You […] extract a small book. It's a decade-old diary.[…] The author was evidently a radical thinker.[…] some complex stuff here about class and capital.[…]

Description summary:
The game doesn't say it explicitly, but this might be Karl Marx's diary, confiscated by the Ministry of Public Decency.
