IRON BLOOD--300 Years of the Dmitri Kantemir Dynasty

Updated and Revised

Omschrijving

In the course of history, Prince Dmitri Kantemir-who was also the Prince of Moldavia, Prince of the Russian Empire, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire and Imperial Chancellor to Peter the Great of Russia-lived in forced exile for 22 years. He became a great writer, statesman, scientist, and composer of Ottoman music. His children were prominent in Russian history: Antioch Kantemir became Russia's first satirist and Maria Kantemir was the last love of Peter the Great. Centuries later, American Ella Kantemir, researching her ancestry, makes a startling discovery: her father was hunted by the KGB; a number of Kantemir Palaces were confiscated; a stolen heirloom is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Aside from missing castles, art, jewels and land, Ella discovered that she has a living sister-who shares her same name! And, that her own true identity is that of a Princess: "Her Serene Highness Eleonora Borisovna Kantemir." What other secrets did the Kantemir dynasty harbor? IRON BLOOK chronicles 300 years of her Kantemir Dynasty's intriguing history.
