Pierre Gilliard – Thirteen Years at the Russian Court (Rus Sarayında On Üç Yıl) – Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları Turkish Edition (2020)

Description:

This Turkish edition of Thirteen Years at the Russian Court (Rus Sarayında On Üç Yıl) by Pierre Gilliard was published by Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları in 2020. Printed in Turkish, this celebrated memoir offers a rare firsthand account of the final years of Imperial Russia through the experiences of the French tutor who served the children of Tsar Nicholas II between 1905 and 1918.

As the personal French instructor to Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Tsarevich Alexei, Gilliard witnessed the private life of the Romanov family from within the imperial court. His memoir portrays the family's surprisingly modest domestic life while describing the devastating effects of Alexei's hemophilia and Empress Alexandra's growing reliance on the mystic Grigori Rasputin, whose influence profoundly shaped the final years of the Russian monarchy.

Beyond its intimate family portrait, the book chronicles the dramatic collapse of the Romanov dynasty during the Russian Revolution and the tragic fate of the imperial family. Combining eyewitness testimony with historical observation, it remains one of the most valuable primary sources on the last Russian imperial court and one of the defining turning points of twentieth-century history.
