Summary "Rezanov" by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is a historical novel written during the early 20th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of 1806, focusing on the character of Nicolai Petrovich de Rezanov, a Russian plenipotentiary with grand ambitions amid the political intrigues of the time. The story unfolds in California, painting a vivid picture of a budding romance between Rezanov and Concha Arguello, the daughter of a Spanish commandant, as they navigate the complexities of love, duty, and the looming expansions of empires. At the start of "Rezanov," we are introduced to Rezanov as he sails into San Francisco Bay, leaving behind a tumultuous past filled with diplomatic failures and hardships. He arrives in California seeking provisions for his beleaguered crew and to further his country's interests in trade. Enchanted by the landscape, he soon encounters Concha, a spirited young woman steeped in the traditions of her Spanish heritage. Their immediate chemistry ignites a passion that clashes with the societal and religious barriers they face, particularly regarding their ability to marry due to Rezanov's status as a heretic. The opening chapters skillfully weave a tapestry of historical detail and emotional depth, setting the stage for a complex interplay of love and ambition against a backdrop of geopolitical strife.
