Description

8vo, ex library with stamps and stickers, ow. good. no dust jacket, 272pp. Summary: The tale of Boris Godunov-tsar, usurper, tsarecide-dating from the early seventeenth-century Time of Troubles, inspired three major nineteenth-century Russian cultural expressions: in history by Nikolai Karamzin, in drama by Alexander Pushkin, and in opera by Modest Musorgsky.
