A Gentleman in Moscow, the mega-bestseller by #1 New York Times-bestselling author Amor Towles, now a Paramount+ series starring Ewan McGregor, tells the enthralling story of Count Alexander Rostov. In 1922, Rostov is sentenced by a Bolshevik tribunal to house arrest in the luxurious Metropol Hotel, directly across from the Kremlin. An aristocrat of wit and charm who has never worked a day in his life, Rostov must adapt to his new confined existence in a small attic room, as the turbulent decades of Russian history unfold outside.

Despite his reduced circumstances, Rostov's confinement opens up a larger world of emotional and intellectual exploration. The novel, infused with humor and featuring a vibrant cast of characters, masterfully portrays his journey of self-discovery. As Rostov navigates his new life, he gains a deeper understanding of what it means to live with purpose.

Towles’ narrative, filled with beautifully crafted scenes and profound insights, captivates readers with its rich storytelling and the count’s quest for meaning amidst a rapidly changing world. A Gentleman in Moscow is a mesmerizing tale of resilience, adaptation, and the enduring human spirit.
