Rasputin: Prophet, Libertine, Plotter is a comprehensive biography of Grigori Rasputin, the controversial figure who rose to power during the reign of the Romanovs in Russia. Written by T. Vogel-Jorgensen, the book explores the life and times of Rasputin, from his humble beginnings as a peasant in Siberia to his rise as a trusted advisor to the Tsar and Tsarina.The book delves into Rasputin's reputation as a mystic and holy man, his alleged sexual escapades, and his political maneuverings. Vogel-Jorgensen also examines the various conspiracy theories surrounding Rasputin's death, including the involvement of the British Secret Service and members of the Russian aristocracy.Through extensive research and analysis of primary sources, Vogel-Jorgensen paints a complex portrait of Rasputin, challenging many of the myths and legends that have grown up around him over the years. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of pre-revolutionary Russia and the personalities that shaped its history.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.
