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.

Best Book I’ve Read In Five Years
Revisado: 02-07-18
A Gentleman in Moscow is the perfect novel. I loved it and couldn’t wait to listen after work, while cooking, before falling asleep, whenever possible. Now that it’s done, I wish I could enjoy it all over, anew. There’s a reason it’s been on the bestseller list for over 45 weeks!

The Lady in Gold, considered an unforgettable masterpiece, one of the 20th century's most recognizable paintings, made headlines all over the world when Ronald Lauder bought it for $135 million a century after Klimt, the most famous Austrian painter of his time, completed the society portrait. Anne-Marie O'Connor, writer for the Washington Post, formerly of the Los Angeles Times, tells the galvanizing story of the Lady in Gold, Adele Bloch-Bauer, a dazzling Viennese Jewish society figure.

I thoroughly enjoyed the well-researched story, but the reader absolutely slaughtered the German words that were frequently included in the text. The reader doesn't have to be fluent in German, but I believe the producers of such an audio book have a responsibility to at least ensure that a world used as often as "Anschluss" is in this book is pronounced properly, that Adolph is not pronounced "Aldoph", etc.
