【Content Introduction】

In times of change, the imprisoned become the freest.

In 1922, Count Rostov was deemed an unrepentant nobleman and sentenced to house arrest in the Metropolitan Hotel opposite the Kremlin. This gentleman, who had never worked a day before and whose only priority in life was to pursue wisdom and knowledge, could only live in the attic of this five-star hotel, watching the great changes in Russia under the wheel of history from a unique perspective.

A new chapter in his life began. A mysterious actress, a quirky girl, chefs and waiters with different personalities... all these encounters and interactions made him experience diverse, subtle and rich emotions. The limited space of the hotel allowed his spirit to enter a wider world.

This beautiful novel is filled with witty moments, sparkling characters, and exquisitely charming scenes. More importantly, it shows what it means to be human in the midst of the current times.
