The Family Romanov Murder Rebellion and the Fall of Imperial Russia Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children Awards Candace Fleming Books

The novel The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion, and the Fall of Imperial Russia by Candace Fleming portrays the events in life of the final Russian Tsar in perfect detail. It shows the internal struggle between royal family and people they ruled. The change in Tsar Nicholas is shown in the finest detail as he is propelled through the First World War and the October Revolution. This change is shown in his daily diary entries where you read that he struggles with his own insecurities and indecision along with his lack of faith in himself. He struggles with communicating with the common folk and their struggles passed unbeknownst to him as shown in the quote,”In 1903—the same year as Nicholas’s costume ball—four out of every five Russians were peasants. And yet the upper classes knew next to nothing about them. They didn’t visit the peasants’ villages or deal with the hired laborers who worked their estates. Instead, they remained comfortably ensconced in luxurious St. Petersburg. From there it was easy to romanticize the peasants’ life. Most nobility (Nicholas and Alexandra included) envisioned peasants living in simple yet cozy huts, their ‘cheeks glowing with good health’ and their teeth ‘whiter than the purest ivory,’ gushed one Russian writer… Nothing was further from the truth. Most peasants had never slept in a proper bed, owned a pair of leather shoes, eaten off a china plate, or been examined by a doctor. Most had never been beyond the borders of their villages.”(Fleming 5.) You meet Nicholas’s regal wife who,”in private with her husband was warm and affectionate… At public ceremony however she became a ‘different individual.’ Because she felt awkward and ill at ease,”(Fleming 30.) As for the common people their story is told through retold first person accounts of the struggles they faced at the time called Beyond The Palace Walls where their struggle during those times is shown to you in vivid detail. It talks about their struggles for food and how they are barely able to survive while Nicholas lives his grandiose lifestyle in his palace.
In my personal opinion this novel is an excellent read and probably one of the best nonfiction novels I have ever read. It captures the imagination with its vivid use of detail and evokes from you a sense of pity for both the Royal Family and the peasants they ruled during the times of the Great War and the Revolution. You pity Nicholas for the choices he had to make in order to protect his family and his country until the very end, but it also brings about a sense of hate for the people who bring about his end and the pain they cause the Royals. I would definitely recommend this to a friend simply because it is facts about the First World War and if they already know everything about that then this novel provides a deeper insight into the lives of Russia’s Final Royal Family.

The Family Romanov Murder Rebellion and the Fall of Imperial Russia Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children Awards Candace Fleming Books Reviews

Excellent biography to introduce history and life of Tsar Nicholas and his family before, during and after the Russian Revolution. Great background of world events and how they influenced Russian history. Also gives details of the daily lives of the Romanov family along with inserts of daily life of the common people. Great compare and contrast. Easy read with explainations of unfamiliar words. Lots of great historical photographs.
This is a really interesting compilation of stories and occurrences that makes the Romanov family's history more understandable
Really expanded my child's reading vocabulary. Also good for historical information.
This book details the historical events that were happening on the Romanoff side of history and the historical events that were happening at that same time on Russian peasant side of history. It puts things in perspective and shows you why the Russian Revolution occurred and Romanoff Dynasty collapsed.
Publisher makes a big deal that it won a couple of prize ratings from who? Fluff that all it is. A better book on the last years of Imperial Russia is In War's Dark Shadow.
Good read. Not overly involved in politics. Just enough to explain the background of Russian royalty in general and specifically the last Romanov royal family. The reader will feel sympathetic about the family yet understand the rage of the Russian people.
Nicholas II, the last tsar of Russia, never really learned how to be a tsar and never really wanted to be one either. While he preferred to hang out with his little family, his wife, four daughters, and hemophiliac son, rebellion was starting among the common workers of Russia. The Family Romanov discusses Nicholas’s reign, Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution, the Romanov family, and the end of Imperial Russia. Scattered throughout the book are writings by regular Russians showing what life was like under Tsar Nicholas. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the events of that time period.
