Описание: David M. Robinson explores how grand displays like the royal hunt, archery contests, and the imperial menagerie were presented in literature and art in the early Ming dynasty. He argues these spectacles were highly contested sites where emperors and court ministers staked competing claims about rulership and the role of the military in the polity.

Описание: This is the first in-depth look at the ceremonies, scandals, and luxurious daily life of the Romanov court. In this sumptuous book, historian Gregory King at last recaptures the glittering lost world of Nicholas and Alexandra. Drawing on 15 years of research and hundreds of previously unpublished documents, he brings the Romanov court to life as never before the extravagant Imperial ceremonies and entertainments, the salacious sexual intrigues and scandals, and the fascinating day-to-day details, from table settings to servant life. With 24 pages of color illustrations and 80 rare black-and-white photographs, this is the ultimate gift for anyone fascinated by the last days of Imperial Russia. Greg King (Everett, WA) is the author of three acclaimed works on the late Romanov dynasty, including "The Fate of the Romanovs" (0-471-20768-3). He has appeared in documentaries for the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, A&E, the BBC, and CBC.
