Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Years at the Russian Court The English daily papers described the Emperor and his family as having fled in their yacht, at a time when the yacht was deeply embedded in ice outside Kronstadt. I could multiply such stories ad lib., but merely wish to draw attention to the fact that so much that is written regarding Russia and the Imperial family is absolutely untrue, so little is really known about the Court life, that I am emboldened to offer my slight sketches of life in the Palaces. It would be very easy for me to pile on the agony, to represent the Emperor as a much ridden man; to picture plots and counter plots; to speak of hairbreadth escapes from death; of hidden bombs; of life made horrible by fears but no such things have occurred in my six years at the Russian Court, and I am a truthful person, and have not started forth to write fiction, but plain, unvarnished truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Years at the Russian Court In a book recently published the author describes at length a visit to the house of the Governor of Moscow, and speaks of his family and governess. Now for fourteen years before his death the Grand Duke Serge was Governor of Moscow-and he had no children. A well-known magazine spoke of us travelling with a cow ! Now I can safely aver that I never took a cow on a journey. She would have been very much in our way, and the poor beast would have had a sad time in the Baltic or Black Sea! Again and again have I seen allusions to the Empress's love of caricatures, and her cleverness in drawing them. As a matter of fact, the Empress never drew such a thing in her life; nor can she see the fun of them when they are drawn by other people.

Book Synopsis Six Years at the Russian Court by : Margaret Eager
Download or read book Six Years at the Russian Court written by Margaret Eager and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six Years at the Russian Court is the enlightening memoir of Margaret Eager - an Irishwoman from Limerick who served as a nanny to the Russian royal family from 1898 to 1904. Originally published in 1906, the book captures Eager's years as governess to the four daughters of the Emperor and Empress Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna: the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia. All of whom would be executed during the Russian civil war just over a decade later. This first-person account provides a fascinating insight into what was everyday life for the Romanov family. From religious celebrations and family illness to assassination attempts and life during the war; Eager's central role gained her access to some of the family's most precious and testing times. In addition to documenting the time spent with her royal employers, Eager also reveals intriguing aspects of Russian society as whole. Through a series of anecdotal references she includes recollections of her time in Russia regarding such things as the tough life of the peasantry, criminal activity and even the national post service. This classic, written from the unsuspecting eyes of a foreign nanny, shows early twentieth century Russia and the last Russian royal family like you've never seen before. Margaret Eager (1863-1936) left the Russia in 1904 and returned to Ireland where she received a pension from the Russian government for her time as a nurse. She kept in contact with the family she had known so well right up to their brutal deaths in 1918. Eager's family stated that she never fully recovered from the news.

Book Synopsis Six Years at the Russian Court by : Margaret Eagar
Download or read book Six Years at the Russian Court written by Margaret Eagar and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1936 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poignant memoir by Margaret Eager, governess to the children of the last Czar of Russia, Nicholas II, and his wife, Alexandra Feodorovna. Beginning with her difficult journey from her native Ireland to the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, her account documents the unique daily life of the Romanov family during her six-year tenure in the Russian court. In this snapshot of Russian History, Eager chronicles daily life in the Imperial nurseries raising the young Grand Duchesses Olga, Marie, Tatiana, Anastasia, and the Czarevitch Alexis, and her many anecdotes of the royal children demonstrate the rarefied atmosphere in which they were raised. She elaborates on her time in Russia and records the disadvantages of traveling aboard the Imperial Yacht, peasant life in Russia, scam artists inside the Imperial residences, attempts on the Czar's life, and her impressions of the Palaces and Imperial art collections. Eager remained in contact with the Imperial family until their murders in 1918.Large Print Edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of the Russian Court Perhaps it was a common love of music which first drew the Empress and our family into a bond of friendship. All of us children received a thorough musical education. From childhood we were taken regularly to concerts and the opera, and our home, especially on Wednesday evenings, was a rendezvous for all the musicians and composers Of the capital; The great Tschaikovsky was a friend Of my father, and I remember many others of note who were ftc quent guests at tea or dinner. Apart from music we received an education rather more practical than was the average at that time. In the Russia of my childhood a girl of good family was supposed to acquire a few pretty accomplishments and nothing much besides. Accomplishments I and my sister were given, but besides music and painting, for which my sister had considerable talent, we were well grounded in academic studies, and we finished by tak ing examinations leading to teachers' diplomas. I may say also that even in our drawing-room accomplish ments we were obliged to be thorough, and when my father ventured to show some of our work to the Empress She expressed warm approval. Most Rus sian girls, she said, seem to have nothing in their heads but Officers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
