Peter the Great, the first Russian emperor, is one of the most notable and controversial figures in world history. The years of Peter I's reign are an era of reforms and radical changes that affected all spheres of life in Russian society. At the same time, the implementation of the tsar's plans to transform Russia and turn it into a powerful European power required great sacrifices. Peter I also sacrificed his own son, Tsarevich Alexei, the heir to the throne, accused of plotting against his autocratic father, to his grandiose dream.

The book by the famous writer, historian, and publicist Yakov Gordin, based on extensive documentary material, immerses us in the era of Peter the Great. The author focuses on the personality of the monarch, driven by the idea of his own high mission and enjoying unlimited power, as well as the complex, gradually emerging and insoluble conflict between him and his son. The personal tragedy of Peter I - the "case" of Tsarevich Alexei and his murder - had serious consequences for Russian history and still needs to be understood.

The publication is supplied with an insert with illustrations and will be a wonderful gift for all history lovers.
