Not just a historical novel, but a novel of reflection! That is what Antonin Ladinsky’s book in the “Crowned Rulers” series is.
The entire life and reign of the Kievan prince marked the rise of Rus as a great power. The historical events of the 12th century and their heroes, the distinctive culture of the Old Rus state, its emergence onto the world stage—all this will be especially interesting to the modern reader.
The novel `The Last Journey of Vladimir Monomakh` is the concluding part of Ant. Ladinsky’s historical trilogy devoted to Kievan Rus. The events of the novel take place at the beginning of the 12th century during the reign of Vladimir Monomakh, who fought to strengthen the borders of the Old Rus state and to raise the international prestige of Kievan Rus.
