INDEPENDENT -------------------------From the great storyteller of
Russia, a spellbinding account of the stories that have shaped the
country's past - and how they can inform its present. No other
country has been so divided over its own past as Russia. None has
changed its story so often.How the Russians came to tell their
story, and to reinvent it as they went along, is a vital aspect of
their history, their culture and beliefs. To understand what
Russia's future holds - to grasp what Putin's regime means for
Russia and the world - we need to unravel the ideas and meanings of
that history. In The Story of Russia, Orlando Figes brings into
sharp relief the vibrant characters that comprise Russia's rich
history, and whose stories remain so important in making sense of
the world's largest nation today - from the crowning of
sixteen-year-old Ivan the Terrible in a candlelit cathedral, to
Catherine the Great, riding out in a green uniform to arrest her
husband at his palace, to the bitter last days of the
Romanovs.Beautifully written and based on a lifetime of
scholarship, The Story of Russia is a major and definitive work
from the great storyteller of Russian history: sweeping,
suspenseful, masterful. -------------------------PRAISE FOR ORLANDO
