Terrible Tsarinas: Five Russian Women in Power,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Peter the Great was a tough act to follow. Who could possibly take the place of that gigantic reformer, that despotic visionary? He died in 1725, leaving Russia with one foot in the modern world and one foot in obscurity and entirely caught up in a snarl of conspiracies and betrayals.In the next 37 years, five women would make history, calling the shots as their nation became a player in the majorleague games of Europe. Brains and brass, gluttony and glory. . . these passionate women responded to the challenges some for better, some for worse.Henri Troyat paints a dazzling tableau with all the glitter of a St. Petersburg wavering under the competing influences of Prussia and Versailles. In this intimate view of history, we eavesdrop on family quarrels, lovers' trysts and diplomatic conspiracies. Troyat is the perfect author to bring us this reallife fairytale. Born in Moscow in 1911, he experienced Russia's turbulent history himself before making his way to France. In Paris, he achieved extraordinary success as a biographer and lyrical novelist, and was rewarded for his beautiful prose with acceptance into the exclusive Acadmie Franaise and with the Prix Goncourt.
