From the New York Times bestselling author of Rules of Civility—a transporting novel about a man who is ordered to spend the rest of his life inside a luxury hotel
“In all ways a great novel, a nonstop pleasure brimming with charm, personal wisdom, and philosophic insight . . .this book more than fulfills the promise of Towles' stylish debut, Rules of Civility." – Kirkus Reviews (starred)
With his breakout debut novel, Rules of Civility, Amor Towles established himself as a master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction, bringing late 1930s Manhattan to life with splendid atmosphere and a flawless command of style. Readers and critics were enchanted; as NPR commented, “Towles writes with grace and verve about the mores and manners of a society on the cusp of radical change.”
A Gentleman in Moscow immerses us in another elegantly drawn era with the story of Count Alexander Rostov. When, in 1922, he is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the count is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him a doorway into a much larger world of emotional discovery.
Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count’s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.

评分非特定大时代下的特定小人物的一段思乡曲。 文/韬子 最早知道这本书是因为Guaridan Weekly的一个list上推荐,卫报的榜单平心而论和NYT以及WP之流还是颇为不一致,缺少一种“喜欢去引领人类高尚道德”的时代装逼感。看了一下简要介绍,于是添加进了第二年的读书清单中。2017年去...
评分文/栗一白 在很多时候,虚与委蛇和没话找话之后,大多数人想要的其实很简单,就是一份安宁和平静,那么,在平静中看一部步步惊心而又时时可放松的小说,无疑是最好的选择,没错,这是埃默•托尔斯式的开场白,然而,真正的开场,精彩的过程,高潮的结局是这样的: 一、剧场般...
评分Such a page-turner! It's so beautifully written that I found myself reading out loud.
评分终于看完了,作者很有风格。好奇俄罗斯人对此书的看法,还是没明白为什么突然回来和离开,感觉trigger不甚明显,期待电影版
评分中英文版交替,做饭的时候听audible英文版,上床了看中译本,所以其实两个版本读的都不全,但是故事是完整的~~
