Description
This enlightened monarch, the Northern Semiramis, the wise Félicie—everything is about her: Empress Catherine II. Derzhavin and Lomonosov composed odes for her, Karamzin praised her in “The History of the Russian State,” Diderot and Voltaire were proud of her friendship, and Suvorov led regiments into battle with her name on their lips…
This book is about the great Empress who lived for the benefit of Russia: under her, cities were built, schools and universities opened, the borders of the state expanded, the treasury grew richer, and science and the arts flourished.
This book is also about a complex personality—powerful with officials and warm with people; ambitious on the throne and indulgent toward those close to her; unshakable in state affairs and flexible in politics; she bathed in luxury and practiced asceticism in everyday life; she loved the most handsome men and changed lovers like gloves, yet she always remained— even for her favorites—above all the Great Empress…
