Catherine the Great & Potemkin Audiobook Summary
A widely acclaimed biography from the bestselling author of The Romanovs: “One of the great love stories of history” (The Economist) between Catherine the Great and the wildly flamboyant and talented Prince Potemkin. • “Captures the genius of two extraordinary Enlightenment figures—and of the age as well.” —The Wall Street Journal
Catherine the Great was a woman of notorious passion and imperial ambition. Prince Potemkin was the love of her life and her co-ruler. Together they seized Ukraine and Crimea, territories that define the Russian sphere of influence to this day. Their affair was so tumultuous that they negotiated an arrangement to share power, leaving each of them free to take younger lovers. But these “twin souls” never stopped loving each other.
Drawing on the pair’s intimate letters and on vast research, Simon Sebag Montefiore restores these imperial partners to their rightful place as titans of their age.
“Biography in the grand tradition…Riveting…The author [is] a gifted storyteller.” —The Washington Post
