Книга Максима Гуреева Григорий Распутин. Могилы моей не ищите — это история убийства Григория Ефимовича Распутина, одной из самых зловещих и противоречивых личностей начала XX века, друга царской семьи, целителя и петербургского старца. Убийство Григория Распутина произошло в ночь с 16 на 17 декабря 1916 года в результате великосветского заговора, в котором приняли участие Феликс Юсупов, великий князь Дмитрий Павлович, Владимир Пуришкевич, Освальд Рейнер и многие другие.

Екатерина II — одна из самых ярких фигур эпохи Просвещения. Маленькая принцесса Фике стала самой русской из немецких правителей России и последней самодержавной императрицей в ее истории. Правлением Екатерины завершился блестящий "осьмнадцатый век" – век кровавых бунтов, военных и дипломатических побед, век разгула крепостничества и Салтычихи. Истинная дочь своего времени, Екатерина соткана из противоречий: республиканка в душе и сторонница крепостного права на деле, поборница морали, прозванная северной Кибелой. Она дружила с Вольтером и Дидро, но отправила в тюрьму просветителя Новикова.

When Tsar Nicholas II fell from power in 1917, Imperial Russia faced a series of overlapping crises, from war to social unrest. Though Nicholas's life is often described as tragic, it was not fate that doomed the Romanovs - it was poor leadership and a blinkered faith in autocracy. Definitive and engrossing, The Last Tsar uncovers how Nicholas II stumbled into revolution, taking his family, the Romanov dynasty, and the whole Russian Empire down with him.

Sayyida Salme lived a remarkable life in remarkable times and told the tale more than a century ago in her Memoirs of an Arabian Princess, the first book published by an Arab woman. She was born in 1844 as a princess on the island of Zanzibar, daughter of the great Omani Sayyid Said bin Sultan and his Circassian slave Djilfidan.

The second volume of David Hume's classic survey of English history covers nearly 300 years (1200-1485) from the long reign of Henry III to the dramatic end of Richard III on Bosworth Field—he was the last Plantagenet, and the last king of England to die in battle. In telling this all-action tale, Hume delves deeply into contemporary records and presents a considered, even sympathetic view, showing that many factors, not just personalities, resulted in dramatic consequences for the nation.
