Description
The mega-bestseller with more than 2 million readers, soon to be a Showtime/Paramount series starring Ewan McGregor as Count Alexander Rostov
From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Lincoln Highway and Rules of Civility, a beautifully transporting novel about a man who is ordered to spend the rest of his life inside a luxury hotel
In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.
Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count’s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.

Avis de l'équipe
Editors Select, September 2016 - When we had our first child, my husband and I sullenly moved out of Manhattan, but Amor Towles was there to nurse me through that heartbreak with his debut novel and love letter to the city, Rules of Civility. Despite my perhaps unhealthy attachment to that book (I read it, then re-read it, then listened to it, then re-listened to it), I can say objectively it was one of the most crisp and intelligent books I've ever encountered. It's common to worry that a second book can't match the brilliance of a debut, but A Gentleman in Moscow doesn't disappoint. Though vastly different in tone and style, the same intelligence pulses under the surface. Continuing in the same epiphany-rich vein, keen observations, quotable moments, and tremendous insights emerge nearly every other paragraph. Long story short - and seriously there is so much more to say, but that's for my later review - don't miss this one. (Emily, Audible Editor)
Commentaires
"The novel buzzes with the energy of numerous adventures, love affairs, [and] twists of fate."—The Wall Street Journal
"If you're looking for a summer novel, this is it. Beautifully written, a story of a Russian aristocrat trapped in Moscow during the tumult of the 1930s. It brims with intelligence, erudition, and insight, an old-fashioned novel in the best sense of the term."—Fareed Zakaria, "Global Public Square," CNN
"Fun, clever, and surprisingly upbeat . . . A Gentleman in Moscow is an amazing story because it manages to be a little bit of everything. There’s fantastical romance, politics, espionage, parenthood and poetry. The book is technically historical fiction, but you would be just as accurate calling it a thriller or a love story.”—Bill Gates

A Gentleman in Moscow
The language is of the highest quality; description of places, actions, thoughts is detailed and with a mastery of vocabulary never experienced before. Artful and elegant and rich, however the story is lost in undefined details. The book can be 50% shorter.

Delightful
This is a wonderful reading of a beautifully written story with great descriptions, but French pronunciation needs improvement.

Totally recommend
The telling of the book really matched the storyline. Who would have thought that a life in a hotel would be so compelling!

Terrible pronunciation but otherwise great
Great story, loved it. Great narrator too, except for his completely bizarre pronunciation of lots of words (very British accent but American intonation in all the wrong places). And sorry but it was absolutely cringeable when he was speaking French and Italian!
It could have been so much more pleasing on the ear.

Wonderful at every turn
Without a doubt one of the finest books I have had the pleasure of reading.
Heart warming, gripping, funny at times, melancholic at others, a beautiful depiction of life.
