Omschrijving

The Czar's Gift is a historical fiction novel written by William Ordway Partridge and published in 1906. The story is set in Russia during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II and follows the life of a young American woman named Mary Hastings who travels to Russia to be with her father, a successful businessman. Mary becomes intrigued by the opulent lifestyle of the Russian aristocracy and is soon introduced to the Tsar and his family. She becomes close friends with the Tsarina Alexandra and is eventually asked to serve as a lady-in-waiting at the royal court. As Mary becomes more involved in the royal court, she witnesses the growing unrest and dissatisfaction among the Russian people, particularly the working class. She becomes sympathetic to their cause and begins to question the Tsar's rule. The novel explores themes of class inequality, political corruption, and the struggle for social justice. It also provides a detailed look into the lives of the Russian royal family and their courtiers during a time of great political upheaval. Overall, The Czar's Gift is a captivating historical novel that offers a unique perspective on the events leading up to the Russian Revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
