A Gentleman in Moscow: A Novel by Amor Towles
A Gentleman in Moscow is a historical fiction novel by American author Amor Towles. Set in Russia during the Bolshevik revolution, it tells the story of Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov, an aristocrat put under house arrest for thirty-two years as an enemy of the class struggle. However, unlike other aristocrats, the Count was spared his life because of a poem he had written a decade ago that had revolutionary undertones.
