Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description En 1762, un coup d'Etat transforme une petite princesse allemande en impratrice de Russie : Catherine II. Le rgne des femmes n'est pas une nouveaut dans ce pays, quatre femmes l'ont prcde sur le trne depuis Pierre le Grand. Mais elle est la premire dcide gouverner par ellemme, y consacrant une nergie et des dons exceptionnels, comme MarieThrse d'Autriche. Elle est aussi une disciple des Lumires et de la culture franaise, acharne exercer une royaut de l'esprit et faire de son pays un vritable centre intellectuel europen. Mais quel rgne agit : pidmies, soulvements, guerres en chane. Au vu d'un tel bilan on pourrait imaginer qu'elle lgua son successeur un pays dvast et genoux. Or l'hritage est tout autre : une population accrue, un espace tendu l'ouest et au sud, et l'installation de la Russie sur la scne internationale. Pourtant, que de malentendus autour de la Grande Catherine ! De cette vie o la lgret et la volont de bonheur tinrent tant de place, nombre de biographes ont conclu que son rgne se rduisait celui de ses favoris. Pouchkine le premier aura marqu cette ambigut, traitant Catherine de Tartuffe en jupons tout en saluant sa grandeur. L'ambition de ce livre est de retrouver dans le ddale des faits, des archives, des jugements contraires, le vrai visage et surtout le vritable apport de Catherine II la Russie.
