    About this ebook

    A high-quality summary of Amor Towles ́s book A Gentleman in Moscow, including chapter details and an analysis of the main themes of the original book.

    About the original book:

    A Gentleman in Moscow, by American novelist Amor Towles, tells the story of Count Alexander Rostov, a Russian nobleman who is sentenced to life in the Metropol Hotel in Moscow after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. The Count must acclimate to his new surroundings, which include a small chamber in the hotel's belfry, as well as the awareness that his way of life is vanishing under the Bolshevik dictatorship.

    The Count watches his country change outside his window as the year's pass, and he must learn to reconcile these changes with the history he cherishes. His time in the hotel, on the other hand, teaches him lessons that he would not have learned otherwise. The Count discovers that "the inconveniences have mattered to the most" as he befriends people of many countries and classes. Personal evolution, the inevitability of change, and the nature of governance and power are all explored in A Gentleman in Moscow. The story depicts how people's lives are interwoven and how the present can be informed by the past while remaining unencumbered by it.

      ‘Keep a diary and someday it'll keep you.’ Whoever said it - Mae West used the line in a film in 1937, but both Margot Asquith and Lillie Langtry were reported as saying it in the 1920s - was bang on the money. I started keeping a diary in 1959 (when
