Commentary Conducive To 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.

Article Appertaining To Books O Palácio de Inverno

I've always been fascinated by the Russian Revolution, although I know that it wasn't romantic or beautiful in real life. Still, I love reading books about Russian princesses and balls in sparkling halls. John Boyne did a great job in creating his story about the last Tsar and his family, especially by choosing to use the voice of someone who had - at first - nothing in commom with the royal family. I thought that the love story between Anastasia and the main character was really well elaborated

3.5⭐Im running out of praises for this author.

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

I have tried to prolong my reading of this book as long as humanly possible while still progressing with it. I never wanted it to end. And as it came to a close (I was in tears, surprise surprise) it still came way too soon. I don't believe there was a character I disliked or one that I hated hearing from, the exception being the craziness that is Rasputin/Father Gregory. My heart feels for each of these characters and I want to reread this and hope for a better outcome. Needless to say, this is

Not my favourite Boyne. Maybe because I couldn't buy into romanticising the story. A story which objectively I know caused the suffering of many, many, many people, not just one family. So I kept thinking of all the families not written about, forgotten, like Georgy's own family. Lost into oblivion. And so why all the special care for one family.I like the pace and the writing in his The Heart's Invisible Furies and A Ladder to the Sky much better.

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

Boyne is an absolutely terrific writer. Riveted from the first page, exhausted by the last. Maybe a tad too long, but interesting, compelling and poignant. Hoping for a movie treatment. 3.5 stars.
