Ilustration Toward Books O Palácio de Inverno

No novo romance histórico do autor de "O Menino do Pijama Listrado", um garoto de dezesseis anos é catapultado dos grotões da Rússia para o fausto da corte imperial. Ali, por quase três anos, irá testemunhar, do olho do furacão, eventos que alteraram por completo os rumos da história do século XX. Pode-se fugir da história? Será possível viver no anonimato após uma existência de fausto e glória? A vida comum é assim tão diferente da vida pública? Geórgui Jachmenev passou a vida inteira se debatendo com essas questões, e agora, prestes a perder o grande amor de sua vida, tenta encontrar uma resposta para elas ao refletir sobre seu percurso num século XX que sempre lhe pareceu longo demais. Seus feitos começaram cedo: aos dezesseis anos, em ação impulsiva e atabalhoada, o rapaz impediu um atentado contra a vida de ninguém menos que o grão-duque Nicolau Nicolaievitch, irmão do czar Nicolau II, que, agradecido, nomeou Geórgui o guarda-costas oficial de seu filho Alexei, destinado a ser o próximo czar. Uma reviravolta impressionante, que o levou da taiga russa para o fausto dos palácios moscovitas, cenário que, apesar da amplidão e luxo de seus imensos corredores, iria se revelar bem mais inóspito que os frios grotões de sua vida anterior. A dura experiência com esse mundo gélido de intrigas palacianas, às quais sempre era jogado contra sua vontade, e de grandes tensões e responsabilidade só foi apaziguada com a chegada do primeiro amor, Zoia. Mas os tempos eram agitados, e a história deixou pouco espaço para idílios: quando a Revolução Bolchevique tomou de assalto o país, e isolou toda a família doczar numa casa de campo nos arredores de Ekaterinburg, mais uma vez Geórgui teve de agir rápido a fim de salvar a si e a Zoia. A vida com ela lhe custaria pátria, família e prestígio, e ele jamais se arrependeu disso - mas e para Zoia, o que teria custado? Numa narrativa fascinante, em que presente e passado vão convergindo em capítulos alternados, da Inglaterra dos anos Thatcher para a época dos czares russos, e dos anos difícies da segunda Guerra Mundial para o turbilhão da Revolução Bolchevique, acompanhamos Geórgui em meio a acontecimentos históricos decisivos que acabam por se revelar mero pano de fundo para uma história de amor que esconde um grande mistério, talvez maior que a própria história.

Criticism Appertaining To Books O Palácio de Inverno
And the award for the saddest last line in a book EVER goes to The House of Special Purpose :(I'm not crying, I'm not...ok I am *sniffles*

4.5 stars - Incredible. I really loved it.This was the first novel I read by John Boyne, and I am thrilled that I have more to choose from as I really enjoyed his writing style. This poignant tale about the Romanovs, the Russian civil war, and 60 years of a married couple's love story was simply wonderful. The author did take a few liberties with known historical facts which is bothersome in historical fiction (I prefer the liberties to be with the unknowns, but such is personal preference),

Although the subject matter is right up my street this book failed to grab me like so many of Boynes books have.. The story of Georgy Jachmenev, son of a poor farmer from a small village in Russia. Georgy is proclaimed a hero after stepping in front of a bullet intended for a senior member of the Russian imperial family and whisked off to St Petersburg to become a guard and companion to the Tsars young son.Georgy ends up falling in love with one of the Tsars daughters and if you like me know the

A story of escape, exile, survival and love which spans nearly eighty years and three continents.Georgy finds the course of his life is altered when he becomes the young bodyguard to Prince Alexei Romanov. I is here that he also finds the love of his life. It is a time of growing unrest in Russia and fate steps in to shape their lives in a way they never expected. Once the Bolsheviks have taken control of the Palace, the outcome for the Romanov family was a fait accompli. It is no place for

This is the tale of a young Russian, Georgy, who finds himself as bodyguard to the Tsarevich Alexei in the final years of Romanov rule. Georgy often finds himself in the thick of things as Russia moves from a monarchy to a republic. The novel centres around Georgy's improbable romance with one of the Grand Duchesses and his unshakeable love for his wife, another Russian emigre.The story moves backwards and forwards between time periods as Georgy tells of his life. We see young Georgy coming to

This is not a book I ever would have picked up on my own. Ever. I don't like the cover, I'm not a huge fan of historical fiction, I'm not particularly interested in the Russian Revolution, it just didn't sound like my thing in any way, shape or form. Then along come the Book For All Seasons Challenge task to "Read a book set during a revolution." Someone else had used this book and said how good it was so based on that and the fact that I've heard good things about John Boyne, I decided to give

3.5⭐Im running out of praises for this author.
