A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
A Gentleman in Moscow centers on Count Alexander Rostov, a Russian aristocrat who, in 1922, is hauled before a Bolshevik tribunal and sentenced to confinement within the attic of a luxury hotel. His confinement sends him into a spiral of emotional discovery, as well as giving him a unique first-hand look at some of the most significant events of Russian history as they unfold outside his window. Exploring themes of justice, the psychology of the imprisoned, and finding one’s purpose in life, A Gentleman in Moscow was released to critical acclaim and was praised for its in-depth portrayal of the lead character and its detailed depiction of post-revolution Russia.
