출판사 설명
"Ian Grey's Peter the Great reads like a novel . . ."
- Louis Fischer
The first modern Russian was Peter the Great. In this enthralling biography of that remarkable ruler, award-winning historian Ian Grey paints an illuminating portrait - clear, objective, and without malice or sentimentality. Here we have, life-size, not only the great czar, but the man who fell in love with a peasant girl and made her his empress; the father who was betrayed by his son; the giant who carried all his life the scars of a childhood terror; the soldier, sailor, laborer, innovator, and architect of a nation.

THANK YOU IAN
This is a great book. Russia made assesible. Every bit of the Russian myth was encapsulated in Peter. Having lived for years in Russia, this biography of Peter is more of a history of a people. Loved it. Thanks for this Mr. Grey.
