Scrawled across the monumental canvas of 17th and 18th century Europe and Russia, here is the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Peter the Great: a boy who was crowned co-tsar at the age of ten. Robert K. Massie delves deep into the life of this captivating historical figure and chronicles the pivotal events that shaped a boy into a legend: his "incognito" travels in Europe, his unquenchable curiosity about Western ways, his obsession with the sea and establishment of the stupendous Russian navy, his creation of an unbeatable army, and his transformation of Russia. This is also the story of Peter the Great's relationships with those he loved most: Catherine, the gentle peasant girl who became his loving mistress, wife, and successor; and Menshikov, the charming, unscrupulous prince who rose to wealth and power via Peter's friendship. Through Massie's words, Peter the Great is brought fully to life: impetuous and stubborn, generous and cruel, tender and unforgiving, and a man of enormous energy and complexity.
