Ivan the Terrible

- A Captivating Guide to the First Tsar of Russia and His Impact on Russian History

About Ivan the Terrible

If you want to discover the captivating life of Ivan the Terrible, then keep reading... Considering that he has gone down in history as Ivan the Terrible, the first tsar of Russia could hardly have been a Boy Scout. As his name suggests, Ivan had an utterly terrifying presence during his thirty-seven-year-long reign. Ivan's story is not only one of brutality, but it is also a tale of great suffering. It's the story of a little boy whose father died when he was just a toddler; a story of a child whose mother was poisoned when he was only seven years old. This was a boy who had to struggle to survive as the warring nobility threatened, molested, and harassed him endlessly while he tried to protect his only friend-his deaf and mute little brother. This is also the tale of a young man who was desperate for power to defend himself and found it when he was made the tsar. And it's almost the story of a good and capable ruler whose wild temper was soothed by the presence of a tsaritsa who seemed capable of calming the storm that was Ivan's mind; but, sadly, Ivan's beloved first wife was poisoned and died in agony, plunging him into a cauldron of darkness and depression that produced the tyrant that has gone down in history as a monster. In this book, you'll discover his story. In Ivan the Terrible: A Captivating Guide to the First Tsar of Russia and His Impact on Russian History, you will discover topics such as: Russia Before the First Tsar A Lineage of Heroes The Birth of an Emperor Assassination Becoming Terrible The Coronation of the First Tsar An Ambitious Young Ruler Books and Cathedrals Death in the Family Betrayal Revenge The Failure of the Oprichniki Two Killings The Legacy of Ivan "The Terrible" And much, much more!
