A gorgeous and insightful book with one of the most the most wonderful 3 dimensional protagonist I can think of… created by Amor Towles - I only wish Count Rostov weren’t fictional. Amor Towles is a true pleasure to listen to- so captivating.
I loved the novel, and this background information was very useful. "There is a difference between being resigned to a situation and reconciled to it." These are words for living, and in the pandemic they have spoke to me.
Ein atemberaubend💖 schönes Buch...ich habe es schon 4 mal gehört, und ich finde noch immer neue Aphorismen, bzw. LEBENSWEISEN 💖💕💔💗 ICH HÄTTE GERNE EINE FORTSETZUNG. . GRAF ALEXANDER, Love you... Tanks for written , These book💋
Victor Garber wrote a book? lol. All kidding aside, the easy availability of facts (by those who choose to seek facts) and the easiness of travel pretty much explains his comment about how novelists are factchecked and corrected for moving an event that happened in Place X to Place Y. In the 1800s the Brontes would not have written about Russia or would've relied on secondhand accounts inevitably getting some places/events wrong and a reader of theirs in Nebraska certainly had never been abroad so he/she wouldn't know any better. Now, billions of people have been around to exotic places and have access to the internet so perhaps that WOULD make them a little more demanding of the novelist. Even funnier is how novelists now have to adapt to technology and run the risk of their novels being outdated in 10 yrs. Imagine now coming across a passage where the hero's beeper goes off and has to look for a pay phone! Not easy writing a novel.
For me, it is simply a marvelous tale, finely crafted. If I wanted to delve into political perspectives, I would have read some other tome,, one quite different. You make too much of the politics.

I just love his Q&A time....really enjoyed it. 😂
propaganda book written from an American perspective of Russia. Why don't we ask Russians their perspective of the revolution?
thanks for watching. please subscribe to keep this channel going.
the imaginings of a WASP with aristocratic leanings and condescension.
Not intended to be a history book but a novel, the historical references are simply a backdrop, one of the best novels I've read in a long time
