Book excerpt: Livro que permaneceu por quase um ano na lista de best-sellers do New York Times, com mais de um milhão de exemplares vendidos, apresenta com humor e leveza um elogio aos valores e tradições deixados para trás pelo avanço da história. Aleksandr Ilitch Rostov, "O Conde", é condenado por um tribunal bolchevique à prisão domiciliar no sótão do hotel Metropol, lugar associado ao luxo e sofisticação da antiga aristocracia de Moscou. Mesmo após as transformações políticas que alteraram para sempre a Rússia no início do século XX, o hotel conseguiu se manter como o destino predileto de estrelas de cinema, aristocratas, militares, diplomatas, bons-vivants e jornalistas, além de ser um importante palco de disputas que marcariam a história mundial. Mudanças, contudo, não paravam de entrar pelo saguão do hotel, criando um desequilíbrio cada vez maior entre os velhos costumes e o mundo exterior. Graças à personalidade cativante e otimista do Conde, aliada à gentileza típica de suas origens, ele soube lidar com a sua nova condição. Diante do risco crescente de se tornar um monumento ao passado até ser definitivamente esquecido, o Conde passa a integrar a equipe do hotel e a aprofundar laços com aqueles que vivem ao seu redor. Com sua perspectiva única de prisioneiro de duas realidades distintas, o Conde apresenta ao leitor sua sabedoria e sensibilidade ao abandonar certos hábitos e se abrir para as incertezas de novos tempos que, mesmo com a capacidade de transformar a vida como a conhecemos, nunca conseguirão acabar com a nobreza de um verdadeiro cavalheiro.

Book excerpt: Por causa de um poema, um tribunal bolchevique condena o conde Aleksandr Rostov a prisão domiciliária. Ficará retido, por tempo indeterminado, no sumptuoso Hotel Metropol. A prisão pode ser dourada. Mas é uma prisão.Estamos em Junho de 1922. Despejado da sua luxuosa suíte, o conde é confinado a um quarto no sótão, iluminado por uma janela do tamanho de um tabuleiro de xadrez. É a partir dali que observa a dramática transformação da Rússia. Vê com tristeza os magníficos salões do hotel, antes animados por bailes de gala, serem agora esmagados pelas pesadas botas dos camaradas proletários. E vê-se obrigado a negociar a sua sobrevivência, num ambiente subitamente hostil.Aos poucos, porém, o aristocrata descobre aliados no hotel, com quem partilha o seu amor pelo belo – e a defesa de valores morais que nenhuma ideologia poderá vergar. Faz-se amigo do chef, dos porteiros, do barbeiro, do encarregado da garrafeira, e com eles conspira para devolver ao Metropol a sua antiga e majestosa glória. Ao mesmo tempo, toma sob a sua proteção uma menina desamparada, a quem provará que a vida não se resume à luta de classes.Amor Towles oferece-nos um dos mais requintados (e melancólicos) romances dos últimos anos.Uma obra épica, habitada por uma galeria de personagens inesquecíveis e servida por uma escrita de uma elegância cada vez mais rara nas letras contemporâneas.

Book excerpt: A Gentleman In Moscow - A Comprehensive Summary A Gentleman in Moscow is a novel written by Amore Towles. The novel’s plot is set in the beginning of the 20th century Russian Empire and follows the story of Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov and his life in the Hotel Metropol where he has been under house arrest for thirty-two years. The 20th century was one of the most turbulent times in the history of Europe. Old political systems were deemed obsolete. People wanted change; they wanted rights for all, not just for the wealthy. In the Russian Empire ‘old and new’ clashed in blood, violence, and death. During the 20th century, being noble was not very popular in Russia. Communists slowly but surely gained more and more trust from the people. Since their agenda blamed several groups of people for every misfortune that happened, being a count became very dangerous. Alexander Ilyich Rostov knows this. He almost gets killed but is saved at the last moment in the most peculiar way. An interesting novel, filled with historical segments, The Gentleman in Moscow is more than just a story of one man. It is a story of survival and uncertainty in dire times.
