This beautifully crafted historical novel by Graham Wade recounts
the meteoritic rise of an orphaned peasant boy from Turkey to the
exalted position of confidant to the Emperor of Russia, the insane
son of Catherine the Great. The Emperor's Barber is a riveting
story of adventure, romance, and retribution in which the author
presents the memoirs of Kutaissov, the Turkish barber who became a
trusted adviser to the Tsar in the eighteenth century. As Kutaissov
relates his intimate memoirs the many facets of his nature are
revealed, as well as the development of a perilous relationship
with a tsar usually considered as either mentally unstable or (at
his worst) totally deranged. The historically accurate and witty
writing describes court life at the turn of the nineteenth century,
using real-life characters and a great imagination to interpret the
historic events that led to the demise of Tsar Paul 1.
