Blurb: “Delve into the mysterious and scandalous life of Grigori Rasputin, the infamous Russian mystic whose extraordinary influence over the Romanov dynasty helped make him one of the most controversial figures in Russian history. In Rasputin: The Holy Devil, historian René Fülöp-Miller explores the extraordinary rise of the Siberian peasant turned spiritual adviser, examining his relationship with the Russian imperial family, his reputation for religious mysticism and debauchery, and the political turmoil surrounding the final years of Tsarist Russia.
Originally published in German in 1927, this 1928 English-language edition was translated by F. S. Flint and D. F. Tait. Richly illustrated with historical photographs, portraits, and political caricatures, the book offers a fascinating early twentieth-century examination of Rasputin’s life, legend, and enduring notoriety.”
