A propos de cet article

Condition of Hardback Book: Very Good. The Dustjacket is missing. 'For ten years, from the autumn of 1908 until their deaths in July 1918, Charles Sydney Gibbes was a member of the household of the Russian Imperial Family; during much of that period, he was English tutor to the Tsarevich, as well as teaching his sisters, the four Grand Duchesses. He became an intimate friend of the whole family and was with them during the end of their exile in Tobolsk. He went with the children and their entourage on their fateful journey to Ekaterinburg where he saw them for the last time before they were murdered. He was afterwards at the 'House of Special Purpose' where the tragedy took place, and he was at the mine of the Four Brothers when their remains were discovered, and for a while he even took charge of the box in which these were preserved. During all this time he kept notes and diaries recording the Tsarevich's illness, the books which they read and the plays which they acted in exile. He collected a mass of souvenirs, exercise books, menus, letters, sketches, official permits and other documents, from all of which J. C. Trewin has constructed a fascinating and highly personal narrative. Gibbe's depositions form an important part of the official reports on the fate of the Imperial family, but none of the rest of this material has been published before, nor even been consulted by writers on the subject. Gibbes managed to preserve it all throughout his extraordinary subsequent career, first as an Inspector of the Chinese Maritime Customs at Harbin and latterly as a priest, and finally as an archimandrite, in the Russian Orthodox Church in Oxford, where he left his remarkable collection to his adopted son George Gibbes, who has provided the material for this book.…
