520 1  "This, the shorter biography of Peter the Great (1672-
       1725), tells his story from birth to death in twelve 
       chapters, including two final chapters on the Tsar's 
       legacy and posthumous reputation up to the present, with 
       the aim of providing a vivid sense of the dynamics of his 
       life and reign: The focus is firmly on the dramatic, 
       appealing and unconventional figure of Peter himself: his 
       actions, deliberations, decisions, relationships, tastes 
       and possessions. It includes the more bizarre aspects of 
       his character, such as his interest in dwarfs, the use of 
       disguises, clowning and vandalism. The main sources are 
       Peter's letters and papers, both published and unpublished,
       as well as other contemporary accounts and documents." 
       "The narrative comprises both the public and private life,
       the life Peter lived as well as his significant fantasy 
       world. Hughes offers fascinating new material on the 
       'alternative' or 'parallel' history of Peter's many 
       disguises and pseudonyms, his deference to a number of 
       mock superiors, and his relationships with individuals 
       such as his second wife Catherine and his favourite 
       Alexander Menshikov." "In each chapter Hughes explores 
       Peter's image in painting and sculpture, bringing the 
       story to the present day with a discussion of 
       controversial monuments in Moscow and St. Petersburg."--
