Description
Our booksellers loved this acclaimed, bestselling novel from Giuliano da Empoli. The Wizard of the Kremlin is a stunning work of political fiction that reads like a thriller, charting the rise to power of Putin’s notorious spin doctor, Surkov, in brilliant, nightmarish fashion. It truly propels the reader into the dark and complex world of Russian politics. Authentic, perceptive and breathless, this is an unforgettable read.
It’s a huge pleasure to welcome Giuliano here to discuss this sensational book. Giuliano de Empoli is an Italian and Swiss writer and political scientist. This is his first novel, and it is now an international bestseller, translated into thirty languages across the world.
