The Pulitzer prizewinning biography of Peter the Great, the ruler
who brought Russia from darkness into light. Against the monumental
canvas of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe and Russia,
Robert K. Massie unfolds the extraordinary story of Peter the
Great. A volatile feudal tsar with a taste for barbaric torture; a
progressive and enlightened reformer of government and science;
Peter the Great embodied the greatest strengths and weaknesses of
Russia while being at the very forefront of her development. Robert
K. Massie delves deep into Peter's life and character, chronicling
the pivotal events that transformed the boy star into a national
icon. His portrayal of the complexities and contradictions of this
most energetic of Russian rulers brings a towering historical
figure unforgettably to life.
