Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter the Great (1672–1725), tsar of Russia for forty-three years, was a dramatic, appealing, and unconventional character. This book provides a vivid sense of the dynamics of his life—both public and private—and his reign. Drawing on his letters and papers, as well as on other contemporary accounts, the book provides new insights into Peter’s complex character, giving information on his actions, deliberations, possessions, and significant fantasy world--his many disguises and pseudonyms, his interest in dwarfs, his clowning and vandalism. It also sheds fresh light on his relationships with individuals such as his second wife Catherine and his favorite, Alexander Menshikov. The book includes discussions of Peter’s image in painting and sculpture, and there are two final chapters on his legacy and posthumous reputation up to the present.

Book excerpt: Step into the extraordinary world of Peter the Great, the legendary Tsar and Emperor who reshaped the course of Russian history and transformed the nation into a major European power. Peter the Great's book is a captivating exploration of the life, reign, and enduring legacy of one of Russia's most iconic leaders. Born in 1672, Peter I, commonly known as Peter the Great, ascended to the throne of Russia in 1682. Initially sharing power with his half-brother Ivan V, Peter would eventually become an absolute monarch, wielding unparalleled authority over his vast realm. His reign was marked by ambition, vision, and an unyielding determination to modernize Russia. Peter's rule was dominated by protracted wars against formidable adversaries like the Ottoman and Swedish Empires. Despite early challenges, his military campaigns ultimately succeeded, expanding Russia's reach to the Sea of Azov and the Baltic Sea. His victory in the Great Northern War transformed Russia into an empire and altered the balance of power in Europe. Beyond the battlefield, Peter launched a cultural revolution that embraced modernity, science, and Westernization. He introduced the Gregorian calendar, founded the city of Saint Petersburg as a "window to the West," and moved the capital from Moscow to this burgeoning metropolis. Peter also championed higher education and industrialization, leaving a lasting impact on the Russian Empire. This book delves into Peter's multifaceted interests, from his fascination with plants, animals, and minerals to his efforts to debunk superstitions and fear of the unknown. It explores his role in the founding of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Saint Petersburg State University. This book is a compelling journey through the life and achievements of a visionary leader who shaped Russia's destiny and left an enduring imprint on its history and institutions. Discover the man behind the legend and his profound impact on Russia's past and present.
