Аннотация

Set in Russia, it is the story of Ainsely Fothergill, an Englishman who served as a British spy and was exiled to Siberia for eight years. A British secret agent in Russia rescues the daughter of a Tsarist minister from a group of Bolshevik revolutionaries. The novel was the basis for the 1937 British film Knight Without Armour directed by Jacques Feyder and starring Marlene Dietrich and Robert Donat. The book reminds us that James Hilton was one of the best storytellers of our era, and that a good story never loses its appeal.
