From the acclaimed author of Grandes Horizontales comes a book that the Washington Post calls "a vivid portrait of a sensual and intellectual woman."

Dutiful daughter, passionate lover, doting grandmother, tireless legislator, generous patron of artists and philosophers---Empress Catherine II was all these things, and more. Her reign, the longest in Russian imperial history, lasted from 1762 until her death in 1796; during these years she realized Peter the Great's ambition to establish Russia as a major European power and to transform its new capital, St. Petersburg, into a city to rival Paris and London.

Yet Catherine was not Russian by birth and had no legitimate claim to the Russian throne; she seized it and held on to it, through wars, rebellions, and plagues, by the force of her personality and an unshakable belief in her own destiny. Using Catherine's own correspondence, as well as contemporary accounts by courtiers, ambassadors, and foreign visitors, Virginia Rounding penetrates the character of this powerful, fascinating, and surprisingly sympathetic eighteenth-century figure.

my favourite spf
Sun protection factor: 15 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Count (Pack of 2)
This is one of my favourites SPF out there. It goes on so easily and always protects me so well from the Sun. It smells absolutely gorgeous and leaves my skin so soft and silky.

Almost the best but still fantastic
Sun protection factor: 70 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is a great and lightweight sunscreen for the body- for it’s accessibility factor the spray is very helpful if you have areas of skin that you can’t reach this works well - but in turn you will go through the bottle quickly- I pay out for 10-20 min at least every day and will use the bottle up in 2 weeks- if that bothers you switch to the lotion version of this sunscreen

Light Sunscreen with a Nice Tropical Scent
Sun protection factor: 30 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I really like this sunscreen spray for everyday use. It feels lightweight on the skin, sprays on easily, and doesn’t leave a heavy or sticky feeling. The tropical scent smells really nice too. Good option for the beach, pool, or just being outside.

Works and feels Great
Sun protection factor: 70 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I just got back from The beautiful island of St Thomas USVI and used this product all throughout my vacation. I’m really picky about sunscreen formula and having dark combination skin, it’s pretty important that I find one I can work with. This was great! It was hydrating but didn’t feel too oily, the smell was subtle and not overwhelming, and I didn’t burn all week especially when I was on a different beach in different areas of the island it worked beautiful for me

Works well, smells great, goes on easily
Sun protection factor: 15 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Count (Pack of 2)
It smells good. It goes on easily with the spray bottle. It keeps me from burning while out biking. It's a good price. Overall, a very nice product that does what it should. We carry it in our bike packs and in the car when we know we'll be out in the sun all day. Doesn't feel heavy when sprayed on so it smooths over your skin very well. Keeps me from burning.
