Summary: "Peter and Alexis: The Romance of Peter the Great" by Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores the tumultuous relationship between Tsar Peter the Great and his son, Tsarevitch Alexis, against the backdrop of early 18th century Russia, examining themes of power, rebellion, and political intrigue. The book delves into the personal struggles and societal issues of the era, focusing on Alexis's conflict with his father's sweeping reforms and the turmoil within the Romanov family. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to a significant encounter between Tsarevitch Alexis and a troubled old clerk, Larion Dokoukin, who speaks of the approaching Antichrist and presents seditious writings reflective of the growing unrest among the people towards Peter's westernization efforts. This opening sets the tone for Alexis's internal conflict as he grapples with the expectations of duty to his father while feeling empathy for the old man's plight, capturing his existential and moral dilemmas. The scene unfolds within the setting of early Petersburg, where Alexis's disheveled existence reveals his detachment from both his royal responsibilities and personal relationships, particularly with his pregnant wife, highlighting a deep-rooted sense of melancholy and alienation.
