Sinopse

Tsar Executions explores the history of regicide in Russia, from Ivan the Terrible's purges to the Romanov dynasty's tragic end, illuminating the political upheavals that followed. It examines how autocratic power and revolutionary fervor intertwined to define Russia's past. The book highlights that executions of Russian rulers weren't isolated events but symptoms of systemic failures and a volatile relationship between the Tsar and the people. For example, the assassination of Alexander II, driven by revolutionary movements, significantly altered Russia's trajectory.

 
The book progresses chronologically and thematically, starting with the evolution of Russian autocracy and delving into key periods like the Time of Troubles and Peter the Great's reforms. It investigates the circumstances, motivations, and consequences of each execution. This book is unique in its psychological exploration of both rulers who ordered executions and those who carried them out, providing a nuanced understanding of power, fear, and violence.

 
By understanding these historical executions, readers can gain insights into the fragility of power and the consequences of unchecked authority.

    Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
     
    Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
     
    In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
     
    These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

    Hollywood’s 10 Greatest Actresses

    Early in her career, there was no actress more controversial than Katharine Hepburn. Late in her career, there was no actress more beloved than Katharine Hepburn. Famously labeled “box office poison” in 1938, it is clear that Hollywood was not prepared for the young Hepburn.  
    Bette Davis presided over Hollywood at a time in which the film industry was at its most influential. Every actress from Katharine Hepburn to Ingrid Bergman and Ginger Rodgers, themselves now considered among Hollywood’s greatest icons, lived in the shadow of Bette Davis. Not only was Davis a box office sensation and commercial success - she became the highest paid actress in 1938 - but she garnered more critical acclaim than any other actress during the time period. 
    Audrey Hepburn continues to retain her popularity and exert a strong influence over how people view beauty and sophistication. She remains an American icon, despite the fact that she did not even move to the United States until 1953 (at the age of 24). 
    Of all the great movie stars, there may be none more enigmatic than Greta Garbo, who remains internationally famous despite the fact her life and career raise more questions than answers. How did a Swedish actress with very little film acting experience in her native land arrive in the United States and achieve instant stardom? 
    	Few actresses lived their lives in the public eye more than Marilyn Monroe, and yet her life remains shrouded in mystery to this day. While it is common knowledge that Marilyn’s life is a rags-to-riches story, her life is bookended by hazy details surrounding her early life and even more mysterious death.  
    Elizabeth Taylor bears little in common with the paradigm of the troubled child star. After arriving in America at the age of 9, Taylor was indoctrinated into Hollywood shortly after child stars Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney, but her experience represented the flip side of the coin.
