A Gentleman in Moscow
by Amor
Towles
In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an
unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal and is
sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin.
Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his
life, and must now live in an attic room while some
of the most tumultuous decades in Russian
history are unfolding outside the hotel's doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced
circumstances provide him a doorway into a much larger world of emotional discovery.
