From the New York Times bestselling author of Rules of Civility, a novel about a man who is ordered to spend the rest of his life inside a luxury hotel-a beautifully transporting gift for Mother's Day this year.
The mega-bestseller with more than 2 million readers, soon to be a major television series
"Perhaps the ultimate quarantine read . . . A Gentleman in Moscow is about the importance of community; the distance of a kind act; and resilience. It's a manual for getting through the days to come." -O, The Oprah Magazine
In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel's doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.
Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count's endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.

Ein spannender, lebendiger und mitreißender Roman. Mit den Augen der Hauptfigur sehen wir die dramatischen Veränderungen in der EU zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Jahrhunderts. Graf Rostow scheint ein vorbildlicher und ethischer Beobachter des Zeitablaufs zu sein.
Incredible prose, couldn't put down

Once I started the book, I couldn't put it down until it was finished. I stayed up until 4.30 in the morning reading this. Weeks later, I've thought about the book many times since finishing.
Amazing character work and interweaving of themes. This book truly makes you see people and the underlying current of humanity within them.
