The Sowers
Publisher Description
This book describes the Russian life and the hopeless misery in which the Russian peasant is plunged, the heartless despotism which his Government exercises, the certainty of a coming revolution to which the French Terror will seem as nothing. The hero Paul Howard Alexia, a Russian Prince, but half English by descent; His courage, his phlegmatic calm, his unfailing sagacity, illuminated, all of them, by a certain half-cynical humor, make an admirable study. The part of villain is played by a French ex-diplomat.
