History of Russia (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. What if the most important country in the world is also the least understood?What is Russia, really? A European nation that looks east? An Asian empire that dreams west? A civilization perpetually on the edge of collapse - and perpetually returning from it?For a thousand years, Russia has confounded the world. It has been conquered, burned, frozen, starved, and carved apart - and each time, it has risen into something stranger and more powerful than what came before. This is the book that finally makes sense of it all.Beginning with the Viking-era traders who established the first Rus settlements along the great northern rivers, Russia: The Country That Refuses to End takes readers on an epic journey through the full sweep of Russian history - from the golden domes of medieval Kiev to the iron fortresses of the Kremlin, from Napoleon's catastrophic march east to the gulag archipelago, from Sputnik to the fall of the Berlin Wall to the tanks of the twenty-first century.Along the way, you will meet the figures who shaped not just Russia but the entire modern world: the brilliant, brutal Ivan the Terrible, who built autocracy into the nation's bones. Peter the Great, who dragged a medieval kingdom screaming into modernity. Catherine, who ruled with a philosopher's mind and an empress's iron nerve. Lenin, who bet everything on a single October night - and won. Stalin, who industrialized a nation on a foundation of corpses. And Putin, who looked into the rubble of the Soviet collapse and saw not an ending, but an opportunity.But this is not merely a history of rulers and wars. It is the story of the Russian people - peasants who endured serfdom for centuries, revolutionaries who gave their lives for a dream, soldiers who bled in the snow against the greatest war machine in history, and ordinary citizens who survived the whiplash of empire, communism, chaos, and authoritarianism, often within a single lifetime.Written with the pace of a thriller and the depth of a lifetime's scholarship, this book answers the questions that haunt every headline about Russia today: Why does power in Russia always seem to flow toward the center?Why do Russians repeatedly trade freedom for order - and what does that choice really mean?What does Russia want - and has it always wanted the same thing?How do you understand a country that has been reborn so many times it has almost forgotten its original shape?This is the essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the most consequential, most misunderstood, and most endlessly surprising nation on earth. Whether you are coming to Russian history for the first time or returning to deepen what you already know, you will finish this book seeing the world differently.Because to understand Russia is to understand power itself - how it is seized, how it is lost, and why, no matter how many times it falls, this country always, somehow, refuses to end."The single book I would hand to anyone who wants to understand Russia - and through it, the modern world." From the birth of Rus to the rise of Putin, History of Russia traces a thousand years of empire, revolution, and reinvention across one sweeping, unputdownable narrative.
