A collector's illustrated gift edition by Academician Yevgeny Viktorovich Tarle (1874-1955), a brilliant teacher and writer, and a leading authority on Russian historical scholarship. His vibrant language, combined with strict, meticulous adherence to facts, places his works on par with those of N. M. Karamzin, V. O. Klyuchevsky, and N. I. Kostomarov.
The second collection, "Heroes of Russian History," contains works devoted to Russian military history of the 19th and 20th centuries. The book includes: "M. I. Kutuzov: Commander and Diplomat," "The Patriotic War of 1812," "Pavel Stepanovich Nakhimov," collections of essays, articles, and speeches, "Chronicles of Russian Glory," "Faces of Russian Culture," "History Lessons," and Ya. L. Kranzfeld's biographical essay, "The Working Day of Yevgeny Viktorovich Tarle."
The historian utilizes numerous foreign and domestic sources—materials from military archives, diaries and memoirs of eyewitnesses and contemporaries, diplomatic dispatches, official documents, and private letters, including the correspondence between Kutuzov and Napoleon. This allows him to recreate the most complete and vivid picture of what happened, trace the logic of the commanders' actions, and understand the atmosphere of the era.
