King of Vodka Intl, The: The Storry of Pyotr Smirnov and the Upheaval of an Empire: A Family's Story of Triumph and Tragedy - Brossura
From a distinguished writer of business comes an epic biography of vodka scion Pyotr Smirnov, whose life in pre-Bolshevik Russia has never been told before and whose business empire still spans the globe today.
Vodka pioneer Pyotr Smirnov is one the most fascinating salesmen and entrepeneurs the world has ever known, and his life as recreated by Linda Himelstein, set against the Russia of Tolstoy and tsars, is a stirring chronicle of ambition and innovation that has fascinating parallels to the post-communist Russia of today.
Plumbing recently unearthed archives and mountains of primary sources, Himelstein has uncovered a rich historical record. In prose that s vivid and assured, she takes the reader beyond the formation of one of the oldest brands in business history and into the personal lives of the Smirnov family and the tumultuous events that lead to the Revolution. Authoritative, illuminating, and deeply engrossing, The Vodka King is a monumental work of history.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 416 pages. A operatic tour-de-force. -Tilar J. Mazzeo, author of The Widow Clicquot An impressive feat of research, told swif tly and enthusiastically. -San Francisco Chronicle From Vanderbi lt and Rockefeller to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, America's captai ns of industry are paragons of entrepreneurial success, and books about business history, from The First Tycoon to The Big Short, show exemplars of capitalistic cunning and tenacity.but just as American cocktail connoisseurs can mistake Absolut, Skyy, Grey G oose, or Ketel One for the quintessential clear spirit, so too ha s America's vision of business history remained naïve to a truth long recognized in Eastern Europe: since the time of Tsar Nichola s, both vodka and commercial success have been synonymous in Russ ia with one name-Smirnoff. Linda Himelstein's critically acclaime d biography of Russian vodka scion Pyotr Smirnov-a finalist for t he James Beard Award, winner of the IACP and Saroyan Awards, and a BusinessWeek Best Business Book of 2009-is the sweeping story o f entrepreneurship, empire, and epicurean triumph unlike anything the world has ever seen before.
