Peter the First. Volume 1. Tolstoy A.N.

Alexey Nikolaevich Tolstoy (1883-1945) is one of the major Russian writers of the first half of the 20th century, the author of historical, scientific, fiction, social novels, stories and stories. The fact that remained unfinished can be safely called the main work about the era of Peter the Great - one of the largest figures in Russian history.

Who is Peter the Great? Book One, which included in this volume, leaves more questions than gives answers. It covers the period between the two Streletsky rebels - less than twenty years, but which! They fit the struggle for the power of the clans of Miloslavsky and the Naryshkin, the growing up of the young king, who has gone from the funny army to a real military campaign and the great embassy to Europe. A simple Moscow people so far in royal transformations sees only the destruction of the traditional way of life.
