Zusammenfassung:This magnificent tale of passion, power and intrigue records the life and adventures of Nikolai Rezanov, one of the great enigmas of national history. Beginning at the court of Catherine the Great, moving to Siberia, Japan, Alaska, then California. Rezanov?s story becomes a superb drama as it climaxes in his celebrated love affair with a Spanish beauty at San Francisco in 1806.
