The bronze horseman a novel

"Leningrad 1941: the white nights of summer illuminate a city of fallen grandeur whose beautiful palaces and stately avenues speak of a different age, when Leningrad was known as St Petersburg. Two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha, share the same bed, living in one room with their brother and parents. It is a hard, impoverished life, yet the Metanovs know many who are not as fortunate as they. The family routine is shattered on 22 June 1941 when Hitler invades Russia. For the Metanovs, for Leningrad and for Tatiana, life will never be the same again. On the fateful day, Tatiana meets a brash young officer named Alexander. Tatiana and her family suffer as Hitler's army advances on Leningrad, and the Russian winter closes in. With bombs falling and the city under siege, Tatiana and Alexander are drawn to each other in an impossible love. It is a love that could tear Tatiana's family apart, a love that carries a secret that could mean death for anyone who hears it. Confronted on the one hand by Hitler's unstoppable war machine, and on the other by a Soviet system determined to crush the human spirit, Tatiana and Alexander are pitted against the very tide of history, at a turning point in the century that made the modern world. Mesmerizing from the very first page to the final, breathtaking end, The Bronze Horseman brings alive the story of two indomitable, heroic spirits and their great love that triumphs over the devastation of a country at war."--Taken from author's website.

  • "Una admirable historia de amor situada en el Leningrado ocupado por los alemanes en 1941. Leningrado, 1941: la guerra parece lejana en esta ciudad de antigua grandeza, donde dos hermanas, Tatiana y Dasha Metanov, comparten un minúsculo apartamento con su familia. La vida bajo el gobierno de Stalin es dura, pero las privaciones que les esperan ni siquiera son imaginables: el ejército de Hitler está a punto de invadir su querida patria. Bajo el terror y la dificultad, se esconden la belleza y la esperanza: Tatiana ha conocido a Alexandr, un joven oficial del Ejército Rojo de misterioso y turbulento pasado. Mientras el ejército alemán y el duro invierno cercan la ciudad, los amantes se ven abocados a un amor imposible que puede desgarrar la familia de Tatiana y ser, para Alexandr, tan destructivo como la guerra. Y, mientras tanto, la corriente de la Historia arrasa a su paso el mundo tal y como ellos lo han conocido y amenaza con cambiarlos para siempre. --"
  • "Leningrad 1941: the white nights of summer when the sun hardly sets on the beautiful palaces and stately avenues that still speak of a different age? when the city was known as St Petersburg. The Metanov family live in a crowded apartment? the two sisters Daria and Tatiana sharing a bed? their parents and brother crowded in another room? their grandparents nearby. It?s a hard life? but one with room enough for love and romance. However? when Tatiana first sets eyes on Daria?s boyfriend? Alexander? she knows immediately that for her? the path of love will never be easy? but rather? one of sacrifice and denial. Hitler?s invasion of Russia spells war and? for Leningrad? siege? and their earlier existence seems luxurious in comparison with the terrible deprivations that the family suffers. As the grip of winter closes as relentlessly as the advancing German army? so Tatiana is forced into ever more desperate measures in order to survive."
  • "An epic story of secrets, betrayal and an impossible love. Called "a Russian Thorn Birds" The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons is a sweeping saga of love and war that has been a monumental bestseller all over the world. The acclaimed author of Tully, Simons has written a stirring tale of devotion, passion, secrets, betrayal, and sacrifice. "A love story both tender and fierce" (Publishers Weekly) that "Recalls Dr. Zhivago " (People Magazine ), The Bronze Horseman is rich and vivid historical fiction at its finest. The golden skies, the translucent twilight, the white nights, all hold the promise of youth, of love, of eternal renewal. The war has not yet touched this city of fallen grandeur, or the lives of two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha Metanova, who share a single room in a cramped apartment with their brother and parents. Their world is turned upside down when Hitler's armies attack Russia and begin their unstoppable blitz to Leningrad. Yet there is light in the darkness. Tatiana meets Alexander, a brave young officer in the Red Army. Strong and self-confident, yet guarding a mysterious and troubled past, he is drawn to Tatiana - and she to him. Starvation, desperation, and fear soon grip their city during the terrible winter of the merciless German siege. Tatiana and Alexander's impossible love threatens to tear the Metanova family apart and expose the dangerous secret Alexander so carefully protects - a secret as devastating as the war itself - as the lovers are swept up in the brutal tides that will change the world and their lives forever."
