Catherine the Great's letters present a vivid picture of Russia in a momentous age. They also offer a unique account of her personal development and intimate life, her strategic acumen as a diplomat and military commander, and her political skills at the Russian court and in handling foreign monarchs. Born a German princess, Catherine married into the Russian royal family and came to the throne after a coup. As absolute ruler for 34 years she presided over the expansion of the Russian empire, legislated actively to reform the country in keeping with the principles of the Enlightenment, actively promoted the arts and sciences, and in her correspondence engaged with the most renowned minds in Europe, among them Diderot and Voltaire. Her letters are her literary masterpiece, written to a wide circle of associates and friends, not least her most celebrated lover and ally, Potemkin. Combining her wit, charm, and quick eye for detail, they entertain and tell the griping story of a self-made woman and legendary ruler. This edition of the letters offers a taste of Catherine's entire writing career, with biographies of Catherine's addressees, a thorough overview of her reign and an analysis of Catherine's literary skill as a letter-writer. Organized chronologically and thematically into six periods, each section also features an introduction to the domestic, personal, and foreign policy contexts out of which her letters emerge.Binding Type: Paperback

Great toy for larger dogs
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Pink
This is holding up pretty well with my Great Pyrenees pup. She was able to pull all of the tags off-but the ball is intact for several weeks!

So much fun
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Pink
Best money ever spent hours of fun. We have 3 dogs. They all love to play with this toy. We got the size 3 large is what we ordered. I'm not going to lie I thought it would be bigger when I ordered it. Two of our dogs are large breeds and the other is medium. It's not too big for the medium to play with it. It comes with a ball pump included so convenient. The little tabs are very durable. I can't recommend this enough. This has no squeaking or any sounds. It's nice that you can play with your four legged companion or you can have them play tug or just enjoy pushing the ball around. It is very versatile in play and stimulation.

Not for chewers
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Yellow, Size: 8 Inch, Color: Yellow
My dog managed to pop this and completely chew through it in a matter of 4 days. It was definitely cute and she loved the size of it but with her chewing all the way to the core we have to get rid of it. I thought it was a good material but I guess I was wrong. Kind of sad considering the money spent only lasted 4 days

Great dog toy
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Pink
The amount of stupid and cute these dogs look like when they shake this ball and smack their own faces! It took a hot second for either dog to understand where to bite on the ball, but now that they do, they both will play with it for a while. Great purchase, came with a pump to blow the ball up.
