ISBN: 1563240475 ISBN-13: 9781563240478 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $199.50 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: May 1993 Annotation: This exciting and psychologically penetrating account of the life and rule of Russia's eighteenth-century tsar-reformer develops an important theme. What happens when the drive for "progress" is linked to an autocratic, expansionist impulse rather than a larger goal of human emancipation? What was the price of power - for Russia, and for Peter himself? Evgenii V. Anisimov's provocative history of Peter thus asks important questions with special resonance today. |
