The Moscow Gentleman tells the story of the hero, Count Rostov, who was imprisoned in the Metropolitan Hotel for 32 years because of his old aristocratic status. This hotel, which often gathers dignitaries from all over the world, is like a paradise in a complex world. Every cloud has a ray of hope. The count has escaped war, political struggle and famine here, gained friendship, affection and love, and turned himself from an elegant Moscow gentleman into a weather-beaten and thoroughly remoulded old man.
