This is a major pictorial work about the Romanov dynasty, the supreme rulers of Russia for over 300 years, with special emphasis on the life of Nicholas II, the last Tsar. Moreover, it is an unsurpassed photographic record of the lives of the last reigning members of the Russian Royal family. The great majority of the photographs used in this book have never been published before, and have rarely been seen even by researchers from the West, having remained hidden in the archives for 70 years, since the Russian revolution. The many contemporary photographs depict Russian royalty in ceremonial dress and at leisure in informal surroundings. There are also such unique items as Rasputin, (the mad monk) and confidant of the Tsarina, Alexandra, pictured surrounded by female admirers. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

It does not take much to make me happy, but this book failed. For starters, there were too many pages of background on previous Tsars, from Alexander onwards: at least a third of the book was devoted to a subject other than Nicholas.
The photographs were not that well chosen - too grand and not personal enough, and the caption information was minimal and poorly presented.
The text too was a let-down: while not necessarily wanted a tabloid-type biography, a little sensation and levity would have been a welcome relief in this dry and dreary account. ( )
