Více o knize

1916: and the old Russia was passing -leaving a welter of tension, confusion and fear. The little group of people who were eventually to meet on the ice of the Terioki Crossing were bound together by love, hate and the compulsive need to escape. Stern, the English officer, a lonely misfit burdened with the guilt of his past, was the catalyst who brought them together. It was Stern who set Koltsov, the convict revolutionary, on his path to power. Stern who discovered the secrets of Natalya Alexandrovna, and in discovering her passion became a victim of her icy beauty. It was Stern who returned to Petrograd when the revolution had erupted, determined to save Natalya if he could.
