The Romanovs  -  Simon Sebag Montefiore

KORTE INHOUD

This is the intimate story of twenty tsars and tsarinas, some touched by genius, some by madness, but all inspired by holy autocracy and imperial ambition. Montefiore's dazzling chronicle of Russian history reveals a secret world of palace conspiracy, family rivalries, sexual decadence and wild extravagance. At once an enthralling story of triumph and tragedy, love and death, and a universal study of power, "The Romanovs" is also an essential portrait of the empire that still defines Russia today.
