‘If you are interested in the story of the Romanovs’ pet prophet this is the book to read.’ Boris Akunin, author of the Erast Fandorin mysteries
A century after his murder, Rasputin is still widely seen as the personification of evil and the truth has remained shrouded in myth. In this acclaimed biography, Douglas Smith separates fact from fiction to reveal the real Rasputin in all his complexity – man of God, voice of peace, loyal subject, adulterer, drunkard. The result is not only a definitive biography of an extraordinary man, it is also a riveting portrait of the twilight of imperial Russia as it lurched toward catastrophe.
‘Douglas Smith begins this impressive biography by rubbishing almost everything previously written, stripping away a century of myth, fabrication, gossip and lies . . . a fascinating, often entertaining, biography.’ The Times
‘The definitive new biography’ Anne Applebaum, Harper’s Magazine
‘An admirably encyclopaedic account of the fantasy life of early-twentieth-century Russians, as well as a multifaceted image of the Rasputin of their imagination . . . richly illuminating’ Lucy Hughes-Hallett, New Statesman

Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Nearly a century after his murder, Rasputin remains as divisive a figure as ever.Was he really a horse thief and a hard-drinking ruffian in his youth? Was he a a devout Orthodox Christian, or was he in fact a just a fake holy man? Are the stories of his enormous sexual drive, debauchery, and drunken orgies true or simply a myth? How did he come to know the emperor and empress and to wield so much influence over them? What was the source of his healing power? Was Rasputin running the government in the final years of his life? And if so, was he acting on his own or on the orders of more powerful, hidden forces? Did Prince Yusupov and his fellow conspirators act alone or were they other parties involved in Rasputin's murder-British secret agents or even an underground cell of Freemasons, as has been claimed? And to what extent did Rasputin's murder doom the Romanov dynasty? Drawing on major new sources hitherto unexamined by western historians, Douglas Smith's book is be the definitive biography of this extraordinary figure for a generation. Acclaimed historian Douglas Smith's riveting - and revisionist - biography of Rasputin Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
