Amor Towles: A Gentleman in Moscow

Описание к видео Amor Towles: A Gentleman in Moscow

Join host Becky Anderson as she talks to author Amor Towles about his new book, "A Gentleman in Moscow."

In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin.

Rostov, and indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel's doors.

Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.
