Synopsis
The definitive short biography of the enigmatic Peter the Great Peter the Great (1672-1725), tsar of Russia for forty-three years, was a dramatic, appealing, and unconventional character. This book provides a vivid sense of the dynamics of his life--both public and private--and his reign. Drawing on his letters and papers, as well as on other contemporary accounts, the book provides new insights into Peter's complex character, giving information on his actions, deliberations, possessions, and significant fantasy world--his many disguises and pseudonyms, his interest in dwarfs, his clowning and vandalism. It also sheds fresh light on his relationships with individuals such as his second wife Catherine and his favorite, Alexander Menshikov. The book includes discussions of Peter's image in painting and sculpture, and there are two final chapters on his legacy and posthumous reputation up to the present.

    I am thrilled to receive this treasure of a book! I bought it for my husband as a Christmas gift, and I cannot wait to give it to him. I'm sure he'll love it. He is an IT expert who loves political intrigue and adventure; he will enjoy reading this exceptional non-fiction work by our favorite author. The book arrived extremely well-packaged, fully padded, and protected. It is precisely as described by the seller. I'm delighted with my purchase, and I highly recommend this seller.
