Product Overview
Most of this book is about bygone days of imperial Russia. However, instead of being a typical Nicholas and Alexandra book or How the Royal Family Lived , the passages here are first person accounts, recorded as memories, or as the actual journal entries. Through this, the reader gets a picture of what it was like living in the upper echelon of society in the latter half of the 19th century, and the early 20th. It is striking and gorgeous.
