Articoli correlati a Nicholas and Alexandra
A superbly crafted and humane portrait of the last days - and last rulers - of the Russian Empire. Complementing his Pulitzer prize-winning Peter the Great, in this commanding book Robert K. Massie sweeps readers back to the extraordinary world of imperial Russia to tell the story of the decline and fall of the ruling Romanov family: Tsar Nicholas II's political naivete; his wife Alexandra's obsession with the corrupt mystic Rasputin; and their son Alexis's battle with haemophilia. Against a lavish backdrop of luxury and intrigue, Massie unfolds a family tragedy played out on the brutal stage of early twentieth-century Russian history - the tale of a doomed empire and the death-marked royals who watched it crumble.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: New. Robert K Massie?s account of the Russian Empire?s final days sympathetically unfolds the tragedy of the Romanovs. Drawing on diaries, letters and memoirs, it tells the story of the Tsar?s political naïveté and his son?s haemophilia, which allowed the charismatic Rasputin to secure a position of influence with the Empress. First published in 1967, the book now includes an introduction in which the Pulitzer-winning author looks back at its genesis and reception during the Cold War. Codice articolo 512909
