	E. M. ALMEDINGEN Catherine the Great. A Portrait London England, Hutchinson, 1963. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall Hardback Chosen at fifteen by the Empress Elizabeth of Russia to marry her nephew and heir the Grand-Duke Peter, Catherine burned with ambition for her adopted country and bent all her unscrupulous genius to furthering its glory, jointly with her own. Now - caught by an expertise that draws her from among the serried ranks of her courtiers and statesmen, her commanders and administrators, her relatives and those fiftenn to twenty genltemen (the discreetly styled messieurs en titre) who included Orlov and the brilliant Potemkin - Catherein the Great emerges in authentic clarity. The greatest woman sovereign in history, her personality would 'have lent grandeur to a blighted cucumber bed.' It is the distinction of this portrait by the author that she makes the development of such a theme more excitingly interesting than the most lurid interpretation. Splendidly versed in the documents and the setting of her story, she knows how to select from her sources, to throw significant detail into prominence, and to present Catherine as a rounded human figure - there is no glossing of the fate of the husband whose death secured the Empress on her throne, her unhappy relationship with the son she tried to disinherit, and the other shadows that darken the brilliance of her career.

	E. M. ALMEDINGEN Catherine the Great. A Portrait London England, Hutchinson, 1963. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall Hardback Chosen at fifteen by the Empress Elizabeth of Russia to marry her nephew and heir the Grand-Duke Peter, Catherine burned with ambition for her adopted country and bent all her unscrupulous genius to furthering its glory, jointly with her own. Now - caught by an expertise that draws her from among the serried ranks of her courtiers and statesmen, her commanders and administrators, her relatives and those fiftenn to twenty genltemen (the discreetly styled messieurs en titre) who included Orlov and the brilliant Potemkin - Catherein the Great emerges in authentic clarity. The greatest woman sovereign in history, her personality would 'have lent grandeur to a blighted cucumber bed.' It is the distinction of this portrait by the author that she makes the development of such a theme more excitingly interesting than the most lurid interpretation. Splendidly versed in the documents and the setting of her story, she knows how to select from her sources, to throw significant detail into prominence, and to present Catherine as a rounded human figure - there is no glossing of the fate of the husband whose death secured the Empress on her throne, her unhappy relationship with the son she tried to disinherit, and the other shadows that darken the brilliance of her career.
