Moscow Sovereigns. The Burden of Power. Simeon the Proud

"Moscow Sovereigns" is a monumental cycle of novels created by the writer, philologist-Russianist, folklorist, and historian Dmitry Balashov. This epic chronicle, a sort of grand novel-epic, fits into a multi-volume publication that spans the period of Russian history from 1263... to 1425 and has been astonishing readers for decades with its depth, scale, vivid imagery, and masterful stylization of language. Together, the novels of the cycle form a sort of chronicle in which historical events in the lives of major principalities unfold year by year, reflecting the everyday life and customs of various social classes, presenting the fates, appearances, and characters of hundreds of historical figures. This volume includes the novels "The Burden of Power," dedicated to the historically significant struggle of the Moscow prince Ivan Kalita for the unification of Rus, and "Simeon the Proud," which tells the story of the fate and reign of Ivan Kalita's eldest son and heir — Prince Semyon Ivanovich.
