About The Book

<b>ENG</b><p><span>In a manuscript in a Russian archive an anonymous German eyewitness describes what he saw in Moscow during Napoleon's Russian campaign. Who was this nameless memoirist and what brought him to Moscow in 1812? The search for answers to those questions uncovers a remarkable story of German and Russian life at the dawn of the modern age.Johannes Ambrosius Rosenstrauch (1768-1835) the manuscript's author was a man always on the move and reinventing himself. He spent half his life in the Holy Roman Empire and the other half in Russia. A restless wanderer and seeker but also the progenitor of an influential merchant family he was a characteristic figure both of the Age of Revolution and of the bourgeois era that followed.Presenting a broad panorama of life in the German lands and Russia from the Old Regime to modernity this microhistory explores how individual people shape and are shaped by the historical forces of their time.Winner 2023 Reginald Zelnik Book Prize in History Association for Slavic East European and Eurasian Studies</span><br></p><p><br></p><p><b>RUS</b></p><p><span>В рукописи анонимный немецкий очевидец описывает то что он видел в Москве во время русской кампании Наполеона.
