Rasputin: Prophet, Libertine, Plotter is a comprehensive biography of the infamous Russian mystic and advisor to the Romanov family, Grigori Rasputin. Written by T. Vogel-Jorgensen, the book covers Rasputin's early life as a peasant in Siberia, his rise to power as a spiritual healer and confidant to Tsar Nicholas II and his family, and his eventual downfall and assassination. The author delves into Rasputin's controversial personal life, including his rumored affairs and excessive drinking, as well as his political influence and involvement in the events leading up to the Russian Revolution. Through extensive research and analysis of primary sources, Vogel-Jorgensen provides a nuanced and complex portrait of a figure who has been both demonized and mythologized throughout history. Overall, Rasputin: Prophet, Libertine, Plotter offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of one of the most enigmatic figures of the early 20th century.This little book is just an attempt, based on printed sources, to convey to non-Russian readers an impression of one of history's most remarkable men. More than just an impression, by the nature of its subject, it cannot be; for, so far as the author was able to discover, no biography exists, even in Russian. Contents: Rasputin's origin and personality; Rasputin's power; what has been written and spoken about Rasputin; previous attempts to murder Rasputin; the murder; after the murder.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
