The Daughter of Peter the Great

The Daughter of Peter the Great is a historical novel written by Robert Bain. It tells the story of Anna Petrovna, the daughter of Peter the Great, who is raised in a strict and regimented environment at the Russian court. Anna is a headstrong and intelligent young woman who struggles to find her place in a society that is dominated by men. She falls in love with a young officer named Alexei, but their love is forbidden by her father, who arranges a marriage for her with a German prince. Anna rebels against her father's wishes and elopes with Alexei, but their happiness is short-lived as they are caught and punished severely. The novel explores themes of love, rebellion, and the struggle for personal freedom in a society where tradition and conformity are valued above all else. It is a vivid and engaging portrayal of life in 18th century Russia, and a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Romanovs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
