The novel "Prince Serebryany" was first published over 160 years ago, but remains beloved and in demand by readers today. While writing the work, A.K. Tolstoy thoroughly studied historical works on the era of Ivan the Terrible, as well as scholarly research in ethnography and folklore.
The novel's pages paint a vivid and vibrant picture of Russian life in the second half of the 16th century, which served as the backdrop for the tragic events that marked the reign of Ivan the Terrible. Before us is boyar Rus': the formidable tsar, with all the contradictions of his strong and complex nature, and his devoted young commander, the simple-minded and courageous Prince Serebryany; the noble boyar Druzhina Morozov and the cunning and calculating Boris Godunov; the bloodthirsty Malyuta Skuratov and the unbridled Afanasy Vyazemsky; Bandits defending the Russian land, and the cruel oprichniki, the fearsome servants of Ivan IV Vasilyevich. Returning to his native land from the Livonian War, Prince Serebryany finds himself in the thick of political intrigue and conspiracies, coming face to face with enemies and traitors. The hero faces the question: how to defend the law and his own dignity while remaining loyal to the sovereign?
