Inhaltsangabe

The Last Days of Alexander: And The First Days of Nicholas is a historical book written by Robert Lee and first published in 1854. The book focuses on the transition of power between two Russian emperors, Alexander I and Nicholas I, during the early 19th century. The book begins with the death of Alexander I in 1825, which leads to a power struggle among the Russian aristocracy. The author describes the events that led to the Decembrist uprising, a failed attempt by a group of liberal officers to overthrow the autocratic regime and establish a constitutional monarchy. The rebellion was quickly suppressed, and the conspirators were executed or exiled to Siberia.The second part of the book deals with the reign of Nicholas I, who succeeded Alexander I. The author portrays Nicholas as a conservative ruler who was determined to maintain the absolute power of the monarchy and suppress any dissent. The book describes the political and social reforms introduced by Nicholas, including the creation of a secret police force, the establishment of a strict censorship regime, and the expansion of the Russian empire through military conquests.Overall, The Last Days of Alexander: And The First Days of Nicholas is a detailed and informative account of a crucial period in Russian history. The book provides insights into the political and social dynamics of the time, as well as the personalities of the two emperors who shaped the destiny of Russia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
