Product description

A history of the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries in Russia, written down on the basis of court records. A colorful, fast-paced tale of neighborly disputes, magnate conflicts, royal blackmail and noble privileges. Although the author focuses on only one century, she takes a close look at it from today’s perspective, filtering events through the lens of contemporary issues and values.

In a collection of more than a hundred stories, the author analyzes the attitudes, choices and actions of her characters. It tells the story of who they thought they were, how they understood the Republic and their place in it, its legal and social order, what rules and rituals accompanied their daily lives. Shared seventeenth-century history comes to life through colorful tales of events and people from centuries ago.

Translated form Ukrainian to Polish: Tomasz Hodana and Katarzyna Kotyńska.
The first volume published in the new Ister series edited by Lukasz Galusek, Paulina Malochleb and Bartosz Sadulski.
