Full Description
A highly entertaining, carefully researched novel, set through the end
of the XVIII and the beginning of the XIX century in Europe. A story
inspired by true events in which the main character leads us on a
journey from Paris to Saint Petersburg. He travels by road, leaving
behind the political chaos of the French Revolution and after his
adventure in Tsarist St Petersburg, he returns home through the Baltic
and the North Sea. This arduous journey takes weeks where the
unforeseen, the danger, the curiosity, the exploration of the old
cities, and the variety of engaging fellow travelers, pave his way to
new friendships and emerging possibilities. This elegant mix of
Champagne and Vodka results in a sparkling historical novel. Beautifully
and sensitively written, this utterly engaging and effervescent
literary creation captures the atmosphere of this turbulent time in
French and European history.
