"A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma..."
Everyone knows Churchill's famous quote. But most people don't know the second half of it: "Perhaps, there is a key..."
From the early years of the American Revolution, when Russian involvement ensured a distracted British empire, to today's obsession with Vladimir Putin, America continues to be fascinated, mystified, even terrified by Russia. However, much of what we think we know is nonsense. .
From the author of the Raven Son epic fantasy series of novels inspired by Russian fairy tales comes a new book exploring some of the strange, mysterious, and edifying stories from Russian history. In these pages, you'll meet French soldiers-turned Cossacks, a church bell that was publicly flogged and sent to Siberia, and a prince who was killed by his own horse... after it had already died!
But at the heart of all these stories is something universally human: heroism amidst adversity, love in a world of war, and perhaps even the key to unlock the riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside the enigma of that fascinating land that is Russia.
