Reviews
The vision, crazed brilliance, and brutality of Peter the Great are all displayed in this colorful and panoramic historical novel. The book focuses on three Jewsall historical personages. Though living as strangers in a strange land, these influential advisors to Peter are among the very few he trusts and argues with. Nevertheless, they remain "jesters" in a sense, living only at the pleasure of the great czar-experimenter. Markish, a Russian exile and son of Yiddish writer Peretz Markish, who was executed along with other Yiddish writers in a Stalinist purge in Moscow in 1952, now writes in Hebrew from Israel about other despotic times in Russia. Holly Abramowitz, Silver Spring, Md.
