Un tour de force. .récit exceptionnel dans lequel Frédéric Mitterant dévoile un talent de conteur prodigieux. Sous sa plume poétique, il fait revivre un monde flamboyant disparu dans le brasier que fut la première guerre mondiale, la révolution civile russe .Frédéric Mitterand a indéniablement le don de redonner vie à la grandeur de cette époque et de ces trois prestigieuses dynasties: Romanov, Habsbourg et Hohenzollern..la galerie des personnages est fabuleuse. C'est un récit passionnant. Le dernier chapitre de ce livre se révèle particulièrement bouleversant et tragiquement émouvant . La partie consacrée à la fin des Romanov m'a profondément touché, ému aux larmes de voir la dignité, la noblesse désarmante de ces aigles foudroyés face à leurs bourreaux . Magnifique...un souffle épique..inoubliable
