Description
The second edition of the history of the Romanov dynasty, with its tsars and tsarinas, often remarkable personalities and autocrats, some of whom were born with a spark of genius and others with madness. This gripping epic, rich in historical anecdotes, tells how the Romanovs relentlessly built their empire, not shying away from conspiracies, family rivalries, or sexual extravagances. ***** From Peter the Great, the despot and lover of lavish parties, the builder of Russian autocracy who demanded constant drunkenness at court, to Nicholas II, the last Russian tsar with a tragic fate that hastened the fall of the empire, to Catherine II, the greatest tsarina with numerous lovers, this book reveals their mysterious world and extraordinary destinies. ***** The lively and inimitable pen of Simon Sebag Montefiore offers a mix of minor and major history and vividly brings to life the great moments, milestones of the Romanovs, for whom ruling Russia was both a sacred mission and a poisoned gift.
