I Romanov hanno governato per oltre tre secoli un sesto della superficie terrestre e sono stati la dinastia di maggior successo dell'era moderna. Come ha potuto una sola famiglia trasformare un piccolo e oscuro principato nel più grande impero del mondo? Quale prezzo di sofferenze e di sangue hanno dovuto pagare i loro sudditi? E perché e come il loro dominio ha di colpo iniziato a franare all'inizio del XX secolo? Simon Sebag Montefiore, profondo conoscitore dell'universo russo, è riuscito a rispondere a queste domande racchiudendo in un'unica, appassionante narrazione la vertiginosa avventura di una ventina di zar e zarine, valutati e descritti non solo negli scenari della storia maggiore - incoronazioni, complotti, avvicendamenti dinastici -, ma, con il supporto di documenti e carteggi recentemente emersi, anche in quelli meno noti della vita privata e familiare. Per realizzare il suo titanico progetto, Sebag Montefiore ha suddiviso la trama del racconto in 3 atti e 17 scene, i cui cast sono gremiti dei personaggi più disparati: ministri e boiari, impostori e avventurieri, arrampicatori sociali e cortigiane, rivoluzionari e poeti. Dopo Pietro il Grande, visionario e spietato modernizzatore, spiccano su tutte le figure delle due volitive e innovatrici zarine Elisabetta e Caterina, con le loro corti di amanti e favoriti, e dei grandi zar dell'Ottocento: Alessandro I, che respinse e incalzò fino a Parigi l'esercito invasore di Napoleone Bonaparte, e Alessandro II il Liberatore, ripagato per l'abolizione della servitù della gleba con sei attentati, di cui l'ultimo mortale, tragica premonizione degli orrori del XX secolo. È infatti sotto il segno sanguinoso del massacro della famiglia di Nicola II e Alessandra, gli ultimi regnanti, che si conclude nel 1918 la parabola dell'autocrazia zarista e si apre una nuova epoca, quella del bolscevismo. Benché anche quest'ultima sia ormai storia di ieri, l'autore sembra presagire per il sogno imperiale dei Romanov e del popolo russo un possibile futuro nel mondo contemporaneo: per i suoi spazi immensi, per la sua singolare collocazione geopolitica che le assegna un ruolo di inevitabile protagonista delle vicende di due continenti, per la sua memoria storica e culturale, per l'indole stessa della sua gente, la Russia potrebbe essere spinta a ripercorrere, prima di quanto si immagini e con esiti oggi imprevedibili, sentieri già battuti. Simon Sebag Montefiore, storico e scrittore, è uno dei massimi esperti di storia russa e sovietica, alla quale ha dedicato numerosi saggi e biografie. I suoi libri, vincitori di numerosi premi letterari, sono stati tradotti in 48 lingue, imponendosi come bestseller internazionali, e hanno ispirato film e sceneggiati televisivi. È autore, fra gli altri, di Gli uomini di Stalin. Un tiranno, i suoi complici e le sue vittime (2005), Il giovane Stalin (2010), Jerusalem (2011), e i romanzi Sašenka (2009) e L'amore ai tempi della neve (2013).

My name is Anastasia. The history books say I died. They don’t know the half of it. Anastasia “Nastya” Romanov was given a single mission: to smuggle an ancient spell into her suitcase on her way to exile in Siberia. It might be her family’s only salvation. But the leader of the Bolshevik army is after them, and he’s hunted Romanov before. Nastya’s only chances of saving herself and her family are either to release the spell and deal with the consequences, or to enlist help from Zash, the handsome soldier who doesn’t act like the average Bolshevik. Nastya has only dabbled in magic, but it doesn’t frighten her half as much as her growing attraction to Zash. She likes him. She thinks he might even like her. That is, until she’s on one side of a firing squad . . . and he’s on the other. Praise for Romanov: "I am obsessed with this book! A magical twist on history that will have Anastasia fans wishing for more. I loved every detail Brandes wrote. If you love magic and Imperial Russia, you want Romanov on your shelf!" —Evelyn Skye "Romanov will cast a spell on readers and immerse them in a history anyone would long to be a part of." —Sasha Alsberg "If you think you know the story behind Anastasia Romanov, think again! The perfect blend of history and fantasy, Romanov takes a deeper look at the days leading up to the family’s tragedy, while also exploring the possibilities behind the mysteries that have long intrigued history buffs everywhere. Brandes weaves a brilliant and intricate saga of love, loss, and the power of forgiveness. Prepare to have your breath stolen by this gorgeous novel of brilliant prose and epic enchantment." —Sara Ella Full-length historical fantasy Includes discussion questions for book clubs Paperback contains special bonus chapter

On 17 July 1918, four young women walked down into the cellar of a house in Ekaterinburg. The eldest was twenty-two, the youngest only seventeen. Together with their parents and their thirteen-year-old brother, they were all brutally murdered. Their crime: to be the daughters of the last Tsar and Tsaritsa of All the Russias. In Four Sisters acclaimed biographer Helen Rappaport offers readers the most authoritative account yet of the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia. Drawing on their own letters and diaries, she paints a vivid picture of their lives in the dying days of the Romanov dynasty. We see, almost for the first time, their journey from a childhood of enormous privilege, throughout which they led a very sheltered and largely simple life, to young womanhood – their first romantic crushes, their hopes and dreams, the difficulty of coping with a mother who was a chronic invalid and a haemophiliac brother, and, latterly, the trauma of the revolution and its terrible consequences. Compellingly readable, meticulously researched and deeply moving, Four Sisters gives these young women a voice, and allows their story to resonate for readers almost a century after their death.

For readers of Philippa Gregory and Alison Weir comes a dramatic novel of the beloved Empress Maria, the Danish princess who became the mother of the last Russian tsar. “This epic tale is captivating and beautifully told.”—Lisa Wingate, New York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Yours Barely nineteen, Minnie knows that her station in life as a Danish princess is to leave her family and enter into a royal marriage—as her older sister Alix has done, moving to England to wed Queen Victoria’s eldest son. The winds of fortune bring Minnie to Russia, where she marries the Romanov heir, Alexander, and once he ascends the throne, becomes empress. When resistance to his reign strikes at the heart of her family and the tsar sets out to crush all who oppose him, Minnie—now called Maria—must tread a perilous path of compromise in a country she has come to love. Her husband’s death leaves their son Nicholas as the inexperienced ruler of a deeply divided and crumbling empire. Determined to guide him to reforms that will bring Russia into the modern age, Maria faces implacable opposition from Nicholas’s strong-willed wife, Alexandra, whose fervor has led her into a disturbing relationship with a mystic named Rasputin. As the unstoppable wave of revolution rises anew to engulf Russia, Maria will face her most dangerous challenge and her greatest heartache. From the opulent palaces of St. Petersburg and the intrigue-laced salons of the aristocracy to the World War I battlefields and the bloodied countryside occupied by the Bolsheviks, C. W. Gortner sweeps us into the anarchic fall of an empire and the complex, bold heart of the woman who tried to save it. Praise for The Romanov Empress “Timely . . . [Gortner’s] ability to weave what reads as a simple tale from such complex historical and familial storylines is impressive. . . . Maria’s life as a royal reads like a historical soap opera.”—USA Today “Gortner, an experienced hand at recreating the unique aura of a particular time and place, will deftly sweep historical-fictions fans into this glamorous, turbulent, and ultimately tragic chapter in history.”—Booklist (starred review) “Mesmerizing . . . This insightful first-person account of the downfall of the Romanov rule . . . is the powerful story of a mother trying to save her family and an aristocrat fighting to maintain rule in a country of rebellion.”—Publishers Weekly “A twist on the tragic story you’ve heard many times before.”—Bustle

“In my best guess, Czar Nicholas the Second of Russia is a throwback to something around the year seventeen hundred...perhaps even earlier than that!” William Donaldson would live to see firsthand how these words from his boss were completely accurate. For a recent college graduate like William, such archaic and inflexible viewpoints added up to the Romanov family’s ultimate damnation. Time would eventually prove him right... During his travels across the European continent during the summer of 1914, William got to meet a young Winston Churchill, Bernard Law Montgomery, and Adolph Hitler. Arriving in Saint Petersburg, the capital city of Imperial Russia on the day World War I begins, William finds himself forcibly conscripted into the United States Foreign Service. In his eventual role as a civilian military observer, William Donaldson, a most reluctant Attaché to the United States Embassy in St. Petersburg, Russia, would get to witness that demise personally. For an unwilling, but dedicated, American diplomat, such unprecedented access to the Russian military would reveal the malaise and ultimate bankruptcy which was the Imperial Romanov Court at the turn of the twentieth century. Accompanied from battlefield to battlefield along the Eastern Front with his devoted White Russian interpreter and lover, Sonjya Mastrova, William meticulously documents the decline and subsequent devolution of Imperial Russia’s sovereign liege. As the military and political situation steadily progresses from bad to worse, William concludes that the final overthrow of the 300-year-old Romanov autocracy is no longer a question of if, but when. The only nagging issue William struggles to determine is simply this: “What type of government will replace the monarchy?”
