Library Book Discussion: A Gentleman in Moscow

All times listed in Central Time.

Join us for a presentation by history professor Dr. Sue Mikula followed by a group book discussion of A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles.

10 copies of the book will be available for checkout at the Kindlon 3rd Floor Research Center beginning one month before the discussion date.

About the Book: “A transporting novel about a man who is ordered to spend the rest of his life inside a luxury hotel. In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.” –Amazon.com

Open to students, faculty, and staff.
