Sobre este artículo
New York: Pantheon Books (c.1965) Book Club Edition. Mme. Oldenbourg's story of Russia's incredible empress is far more exciting than most novels, infinitely better written than most histories. By concentrating on Catherine's early years, the author has succeeded in explaining a woman who had remained an enigma, even to her biographers. Extravagant and grotesque, this is nonetheless a moving human story. The forty-six chapters are followed by a chronological and genealogical table, note on the Princess of Anhalt-Zerbst, bibliography, notes and reference. A list of illustrations provided (32 plates). Bookplate to fep, name to ffep. . An immaculate fresh copy in a dust jacket that shows a reproduction portrait of the Grand Dutchess Catherine Alexeivna by G.C. Groot, 1745.. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
