Recenzje

With Intimate Empire, Alexa von Winning has achieved a great success. The book adds many innovative thoughts to the genre of historical family biographies. It demonstrates the complex, by no means frictionless relationship between Church and autocracy in the late Tsarist Empire, and repeatedly broadens the perspective beyond the russian-imperial scope.
