Count Alexander Rostov is found guilty of treason by a Bolshevik tribunal, which sentences him to house arrest in the Hotel Metropol, a luxury hotel across the street from Red Square.

“A novel brimming with humor, a cast of characters, and beautifully rendered scenes, this singular novel casts its spell as it relates the Count’s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to ‘be a man of purpose.”

The Book Guide® Editor

Rostov, a man of erudition, wit, and intelligence, has never worked a single day in his life, but must now live in an apartment while some of the most turbulent decades in Russian history are taking place outside the building’s doors. Unsurprisingly, his reduced circumstances allow him access to a much larger world of emotion.
