Robert K. Massie delves deep into his life, chronicling the pivotal events that shaped a boy into a legend—including 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, his transformation of Russia, and his relationships with those he loved most: Catherine, the robust yet gentle peasant, his loving mistress, wife, and successor; and Menshikov, the charming, bold, unscrupulous prince who rose to wealth and power through Peter’s friendship. Impetuous and stubborn, generous and cruel, tender and unforgiving, a man of enormous energy and complexity, Peter the Great is brought fully to life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Read Room","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":59552926335262,"sku":null,"price":920.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":59552926368030,"sku":null,"price":1050.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":59552926400798,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1076\/7515\/6766\/files\/71DQV0KesxL._SL1500.jpg?v=1783274318","url":"https:\/\/www.readroombd.com\/products\/peter-the-great-his-life-and-world-by-robert-k-massie","provider":"Read Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
