The Czar
by Deborah Alcock
A Tale of the Time of the First
Napoleon
As, with a hand still trembling,
Clémence poured out the tea, she remembered the stories she had heard of such evening visits made
by the Czar, "to talk at his ease," and recalled the words of De Maistre when someone criticised
this habit in his presence: "It is a touching thing to me to see the ruler of a great empire, in
the age of all the passions, find his recreation in taking a cup of tea with an honest man and his
wife."
Ivan Ivanovitch Pojarsky, an orphaned
Russian Prince, adopted by loyal people in the village of Nicolofsky meets the great Czar Alexander
of Russia while the Czar does his best to bring back to life a seemingly dead carpenter. This
historical fact, and many others related in this captivating story, gives a very accurate picture
of the life in Russia during the time of Napoleon.
