Жених царевны
Исторический роман Всеволода Сергеевича Соловьева (1849—1903), впервые опубликованный в 1903 году. «Ранний зимний вечер уже давно наступил, и в царицыном тереме по всем покоям и переходам зажглись огни. Мама царевны Ирины Михайловны, княгиня Марья Ивановна Хованская, сидела у себя в опочивальне. Она только что пришла от царицы после долгой и весьма важной беседы и теперь крепко пораздумалась. На некрасивом и уже давно поблекшем лице ее, освещенном, однако, большими и добрыми голубыми глазами, читалось необычайное смущение».

About the author
Vsevolod Solovyov
25 books2 followersVsevolod Sergeyevich Solovyov (Russian: Всеволод Серге́евич Соловьёв; January 13 [O.S. January 1] 1849 - November 2 [O.S. October 20] 1903) was a Russian historical novelist. His most famous work is Chronicle of Four Generations (five volumes, 1881–86), an account of the fictional Gorbatov family from the time of Catherine the Great to the mid-nineteenth century. Solovyov's "atmosphere of nostalgia for the vanished age of the nobility" helps explain his "posthumous popularity among Russian émigrés."
Oldest son of the historian Sergei Solovyov and brother of the philosopher Vladimir Solovyov, Vsevolod turned to writing historical fiction in 1876 with Princess Ostrozhskaya. He visited Paris in 1884 where he met Blavatsky and mixed with other people in the Paris occult scene, such as Juliette Adam, Vera Jelikovsky, Blavatsky's sister, and Emilie de Morsier. By 1886 he had become a bitter and disillusioned enemy of the founder of theosophy. He abandoned his plans to promote theosophy in Russia and denounced Blavatsky as a failed spy of the Okhrana. At the time he was intimately involved with Yuliana Glinka, who worked for Pyotr Rachkovsky, Paris head of the Okhrana.
Of his later novels, the best known are The Magi (1889) and The Great Rosicrucian (1890), dealing with mystics of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century.
