Interregnum

Allen F Chew

4.9/5 (22548 ratings)

Description:This new creative non-fiction work is a history of Russia, once known as Muscovy, between the end of the Rurik dynasty, in 1598, and the advent of the Romanov Dynasty, in 1613. Continuity in this complex historical novel is attained by viewing it primarily from the perspective of one of its most active participants: Maryna Mnishek, a remarkable Polish maiden who begins her great adventure in 1604, at the age of 15. Maryna's life is comprised of struggle between conscience (being devoutly Catholic) and a profound combination of ambition and vanity-strengths that keep her striving and focused during her most desperate hours. The book's Documentations Section, meticulously distinguishing factual history from fictional passages, confirms that fact is very often stranger than fiction. In 1606, Maryna Mnishek becomes Tsaritsa of Muscovy for ten glorious days. Then, in the crush of a palace coup, she loses that crown-spending eight long years attempting to reclaim her throne. Interregnum provides many disturbing parallels between yesterday's Muscovy and today's Russia, and does so in a quickly engaging way. It is designed to enable interested readers, who may have little prior acquaintance with Russian history, to understand that fascinating era and its continuing relevance.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
