Favorite. Book 1. Pikul V.S.

The novel “Favorite” is a multifaceted work in which a huge layer of historical reality is raised, a wide fabric of Russia of the second half of the 18th century is given. The author depicts an era through the prism of the actions of the protagonist-the brightest prince Grigory Alexandrovich Potemkin-Tauride, the favorite of Catherine II-a complex, largely contradictory, but, of course, talented and smart, decisively invading state affairs and saw his duty in Russia's ministry.
