Andrei Zarin's monograph, first published back in 1913, is a historical study devoted to the leisure of royalty. The author tells about the life of the royal families, their amusements and traditions, drawing vivid historical portraits. The reader will be fascinated by the story of balls and masquerades, Peter's assemblies and "Hermitage meetings", secular gambling and how church holidays and events took place: water consecration, cave action, etc., about the varieties of royal hunting, the emergence of the Russian theater, famous buffoons and actors, as well as about the preferences of each sovereign for one or the other to a different kind of entertainment, to this or that fun. So, Alexey Mikhailovich was especially fond of falconry, Peter the Great — chess, Anna Ioannovna — target shooting, Elizabeth Petrovna — theater, and Catherine the Great — masquerades. The reader will take a fascinating historical tour of the residences of the tsars and emperors of Russia — fabulous royal chambers, quaint and amazing parks and palaces, majestic royal residences built in the style of Russian classicism and Empire, as well as learn about the history of their construction and architectural features. Russian Russian portraits of tsars and emperors, genre paintings by great Russian and European masters will complement the fascinating story.
