Description
True wealth lies within us Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov is sentenced by a Bolshevik tribunal to life imprisonment in the Moscow Hotel Metropol as an "incorrigible aristocrat" at the end of the civil war. The polished intellectual is forced to live in a cramped attic room while the most tumultuous events in Russian history unfold outside. Nevertheless, he experiences amazing adventures far beyond the boundaries of the hotel, which, with its customs, daily routines, and diverse staff, is a world unto itself. The nobleman's "house arrest" is filled with unexpected friendships, profound conversations, poignant solidarity, joy, and sorrow, offering a glimpse into the deepest corners of the Russian soul. A gripping story spanning from the rise of the Soviet Union through the Great Patriotic War to the ascent of Khrushchev to power. Narrator: Igor Bareš (Vladislav Beneš, Daniel Bambas) Length of recording: 18 hours 38 minutes
