Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1917, "Rasputin the Rascal Monk" is a study of Rasputin and his influence over the Russian royal family during the latter years of the Romanov Dynasty. Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin (1869 - 1916) was a Russian mystic and holy man famous for his familiarity with the family of Tsar Nicholas II. He was a controversial character, viewed by some as a mystic, visionary, and prophet; and by others as a religious charlatan. Nonetheless, he garnered significant influence in late imperial Russia. He was assassinated by a group of conservative noblemen who opposed his influence over the Tsars in 1916. Contents include: "Why this Book was Written", "The Cult of the 'Sister-Disciples'", "Scandals at the Winter Palace", "How Rasputin Poisoned the Tsarevitch", "The 'Hidden Hand' of Berlin", "Rasputin's Secret Orders from Berlin", "Rasputin's Secret Instructions from Berlin", "The Plot to Spread Epidemics in Russia", "The Mock-Monk Unmasked", etc. Many vintage book such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with the original text and artwork.

Autorenporträt

Anglo-French journalist and author William Tufnell Le Queux (18 July 1864 - 13 October 1927) was born in England. Both The Great War in England (1897) and The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter of which became a blockbuster, were written by him. Although he eventually gave Germany this position, his partial French background did not stop him from portraying France and the French as villains in works from the 1890s. In the years before World War I, he published invasion novels and pulp espionage tales. His collaboration with Lord Northcliffe resulted in the serialized publishing and promotion of intrusion and espionage tales. The Invasion of 1910, a book by Le Queux, debuted in serial form in March 1906. It was a great hit and made Le Queux a tidy sum of money. Le Queux had a keen interest in wireless transmission and radio communication. For ""rumbling their ambitions,"" he asked the Germans for further protection during World War I. Le Queux asserted that Jack the Ripper was a Russian physician by the name of Alexander Pedachenko who carried out the killings in an effort to perplex and mock Scotland Yard.
