This handmade leather-bound gift edition contains the epistles of John IV Vasilyevich the Terrible to his former voivode, Prince Andrei Kurbsky. The book is of great interest to fans and connoisseurs of Russian history and helps to understand the difference between the views of two former like-minded people, some of the most educated people of their time.
The correspondence between the tsar and his former loyal military commander touches on a number of socio-political issues. Their assessment of the ways of state development differs significantly. John IV stands firmly on the divine origin of autocracy, while Andrei Kurbsky considers it right to give more powers to the highest aristocracy, thereby limiting the power of the monarch. Topics of a religious and political nature are also discussed, in which the opinions of the opponents differ significantly.
The book with the messages of the Russian tsar is presented in an exclusive genuine leather cover and packed in a handmade leather case, made in the same design with it.
