Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - September 1812. Napoleon's Grande Armée has crossed Russia and fought its way to Moscow. Kutuzov has abandoned the city. The streets are nearly empty - 270,000 inhabitants gone in the space of days. On the night of September 14, as the French enter, fires break out across the city. By September 18, two-thirds of Moscow is ash.Grigory Danilevsky's Moscow in Flames (1886) follows Aurora Kramahn through the catastrophe of the French occupation and the burning of the ancient capital - through streets emptied of everything familiar, through a city that has been deliberately sacrificed, through the weeks Napoleon spent waiting in the ruins for a peace offer from Tsar Alexander that never came. Around Aurora he assembles the full range of people caught in the disaster: those who fled and those who stayed, those who acted on principle and those who simply survived, witnesses to one of the decisive events of the century.The fire itself remains disputed history. Count Rostopchin, Moscow's military governor, disbanded the fire brigade and removed its equipment before evacuating; captured arsonists confessed to acting on his orders; Rostopchin denied it all. Napoleon watched from the Kremlin and called it an act of extraordinary Russian self-sacrifice. The debate has not been settled in two hundred years. What Danilevsky understood - writing in 1886, with Tolstoy's War and Peace already standing as the epic treatment of the same events - was that the disaster had a human interior that the philosophical epic could not entirely contain. His novel works at the level of individual experience: what it is to be inside a city that is burning, occupied by a foreign army that has marched from Paris and finds nothing left to conquer.Danilevsky brought to this subject an archival novelist's commitment to documentary specificity, shaped by years of examining provincial records across Russia and Ukraine as a civil servant. The result was, by contemporary accounts, his most popular work - a historical novel in the tradition that Russian writers had adapted from Walter Scott, whose strengths lie in narrative urgency, historical texture, and the insistence that great events are always, beneath their strategic surfaces, the sum of what individual people endured.…
