Description:[from the dust jacket]: "In 1801, at the age of 24, Alexander I, eldest son of the mad Paul I, succeeded to the throne of his murdered father. He brought with him the Tsarina, a young and loving German princess (whom he had married at 17) plus a humanist education that had been directed by his grandmother, Catherine the Great."In the humanist tradition, he envisaged great reforms for his people. But soon his preoccupation with foreign affairs put a brake on these domestic projects - the period of the Napoleonic Wars and the invasion had to be faced. Alexander, the spokesman of the liberals in the German states, became the arbiter of Europe, called by his people "Alexander the Blessed." Young Rostov's worship of the Emperor in 'War and Peace' accurately reflects the mood of the whole nation at this time."Alexander's return to Russia in 1815, after the defeat of Napoleon, was eagerly anticipated. Now, at last, the great Emperor could put his reforms into effect. But Alexander had seen Europe ravaged by wars, internal and external -- Russia must be spared such perils. And, at the same time, his remorse for his part in his father's assassination became ever more haunting, driving him to increase pseudo-mystical rumination. Meanwhile, with ruthless brutality, Alexander's Minister of War had become Russia's virtual dictator."But despite his change of direction, Alexander continued to be greatly loved until his death in 1825, when he was succeeded by his much-hated brother, Nicholas I. Alexander's had been a life of noble purpose and tragic consequence."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
