Keisarillisen Venäjän kullatussa hämärässä, kun kynttilänvalo lepattaa palatsin peiliseinillä, nainen seisoo dynastian viimeisten, epätoivoisten vuosien ytimessä. Romanovien hovin loiston ja eristyneisyyden keskellä valtakunnan kohtalo kietoutuu viimeisen keisarinnan yksityisiin suruihin ja toiveisiin. Fin de siècle -Venäjän taustaa vasten - maailmassa, jossa häikäisevä juhlavus kätkee alleen levottomuuden varjon - tämä elämäkerta tarjoaa intiimin ja kaunistelemattoman muotokuvan henkilöstä, jota sekä arvostettiin että ymmärrettiin väärin. Venäjän historian kautta teos tutkii Venäjän keisarillisen perheen monimutkaisia siteitä, monarkian raskaita taakkoja ja henkilökohtaisia kamppailuja, jotka kehittyivät samalla kun maailma palatsin ovien ulkopuolella muuttui peruuttamattomasti. Ensikäden kertomuksiin ja aikalaisten lähteisiin pohjautuva kerronta paljastaa tunne-elämän ja poliittiset monimutkaisuudet, jotka määrittelivät tsaarin Venäjän iltahämärän. Julkisen velvollisuuden ja yksityisen kaipuun välinen jännite, hovielämän lakkaamaton tarkkailu sekä vallankumouksen uhkaava varjo kuvataan syvyydellä, joka herättää aikakauden elävästi henkiin. Romanovien dynastiasta, venäläisestä kuninkaallisesta elämäkerrasta tai Venäjän vallankumousajan dramaattisista mullistuksista kiinnostuneille tämä teos tarjoaa sekä historiallista oivallusta että syvästi inhimillisen tarinan. Huolellinen huomio niihin henkilöihin ja tapahtumiin, jotka muovasivat Nikolai II: n Venäjää, tekee siitä kiehtovan lisän mihin tahansa eurooppalaisten kuninkaallisten elämäkertojen tai venäläisten historiallisten elämäkertojen kokoelmaan. Tätä kirjaa ei ollut saatavilla vuosikymmeniin, ja nyt Alpha Editions on julkaissut sen uudelleen. Kirja on palautettu nykypäivän ja tulevien sukupolvien iloksi. Tämä painos ei ole pelkkä uusintapainos - se on keräilyharvinaisuus ja kulttuuriaarre, joka säilyttää venäläisen monarkian kestävän merkityksen niille, jotka haluavat ymmärtää kadonneen maailman viimeisiä päiviä.
