The definitive short biography of the enigmatic Peter the Great
Peter the Great (1672-1725), tsar of Russia for forty-three years,
was a dramatic, appealing, and unconventional character. This book
provides a vivid sense of the dynamics of his life-both public and
private-and his reign. Drawing on his letters and papers, as well
as on other contemporary accounts, the book provides new insights
into Peter's complex character, giving information on his actions,
deliberations, possessions, and significant fantasy world--his many
disguises and pseudonyms, his interest in dwarfs, his clowning and
vandalism. It also sheds fresh light on his relationships with
individuals such as his second wife Catherine and his favorite,
Alexander Menshikov. The book includes discussions of Peter's image
in painting and sculpture, and there are two final chapters on his
legacy and posthumous reputation up to the present.
