From the acclaimed author of Grandes Horizontales comes a book that the Washington Post calls "a vivid portrait of a sensual and intellectual woman."

Dutiful daughter, passionate lover, doting grandmother, tireless legislator, generous patron of artists and philosophers---Empress Catherine II was all these things, and more. Her reign, the longest in Russian imperial history, lasted from 1762 until her death in 1796; during these years she realized Peter the Great's ambition to establish Russia as a major European power and to transform its new capital, St. Petersburg, into a city to rival Paris and London.

Yet Catherine was not Russian by birth and had no legitimate claim to the Russian throne; she seized it and held on to it, through wars, rebellions, and plagues, by the force of her personality and an unshakable belief in her own destiny. Using Catherine's own correspondence, as well as contemporary accounts by courtiers, ambassadors, and foreign visitors, Virginia Rounding penetrates the character of this powerful, fascinating, and surprisingly sympathetic eighteenth-century figure.

Outstanding Watch — Style Meets Value!
Color: Black Watch-G5010
I’m so impressed with this OLEVS watch! From the moment my husband put it on, he said it felt comfortable, lightweight, and classy — exactly what he wanted in a dress watch. The minimalist design is sleek and modern, and every time he wears it someone compliments how elegant it looks, especially for the price. The quartz movement keeps time accurately, and the waterproof feature gives peace of mind for everyday wear — and even rainy days. For a watch this affordable, it feels polished and much more expensive than it actually is. If you’re looking for an everyday minimalist watch that doubles as a dress piece, this one truly delivers great quality and style at a stellar price point — absolutely 5 stars!

OLEVS Men’s Watches Waterproof Dress Minimalist
Color: BlueFace-G5010
I got this watch for my husband, and it fits him perfectly. He’s retired police officer but still carries himself sharp, and this watch matches that classic, put-together look. The blue face is rich and eye-catching without being flashy. The Roman numerals and silver detailing give it a timeless, elegant style. It looks much more expensive than it is. The black leather-style band is comfortable and fits well. It’s lightweight enough for everyday wear but still feels solid and well made. The day and date feature is clear and easy to read, which is a nice practical touch. Whether he’s dressed up or just heading out casually, this watch pulls everything together. It’s a great combination of classic style and everyday function, that’s easy to set up.
