Resumen del Editor

Based on new sources - the definitive biography of Rasputin, with revelations about his life, death, and involvement with the Romanovs

A century after his death, Grigory Rasputin remains fascinating: the Russian peasant with hypnotic eyes who befriended Tsar Nicholas II and helped destroy the Russian Empire, but the truth about his strange life has never fully been told. Written by the world's leading authority on Rasputin, this new biography draws on previously closed Soviet archives to offer new information on Rasputin's relationship with Empress Alexandra, sensational revelations about his sexual conquests, a re-examination of his murder, and more.

  • Based on long-closed Soviet archives and the author's decades of research, encompassing sources ranging from baptismal records and forgotten police reports to notes written by Rasputin and personal letters
  • Reveals new information on Rasputin's family history and strange early life, religious beliefs, and multitudinous sexual adventures as well as his relationship with Empress Alexandra, ability to heal the haemophiliac tsarevich, and more
  • Includes many previously unpublished photos, including contemporary studio photographs of Rasputin and samples of his handwriting
  • Written by historian Joesph T. Fuhrmann, a Rasputin expert whose 1990 biography Rasputin: A Life was widely praised as the best on the subject

Synthesizing archival sources with published documents, memoirs, and other studies of Rasputin into a single, comprehensive work, Rasputin: The Untold Story will correct a century's worth of misconception and error about the life and death of the famous Siberian mystic and healer and the decline and fall of Imperial Russia.

"GODZILLA IS DESTROYING THE CIDDY"

The narration is just miserable. Sisco never met a "t" that he liked, which would be fine if the subject's name wasn't "RaspuTin". So, you're treated to hearing "Raspudin". His tone varies between sounding computerized and sounding like the bad dubbing on a Japanese monster movie.

The book itself is fine, if a little low-brow. This is not a scholarly work but will give you an overview.

Narrator sounds like a robot

I would have enjoyed this so much more if the narrator didn’t sound like a robot. Okay story. Nothing spellbinding.

Not very nuanced

At the end he pronounces “the world would would have been a better place had Rasputin never been born. Says who? God? A metaphysical absurdity.Maybe the world would have been worse off.

The Legend of Rasputin

I've been curious to learn more about Grigori Rasputin for a long time, and I'm glad that I finally got around to reading a book on "The Mad Monk".

Everything about Rasputin was just WEIRD. He's so weird that a lot of this book is hard to accept as fact even though it's accepted history. Rasputin grows out of humble beginnings into some mixture of fraud, miracle worker, drunk, holy man, woman-abuser, pilgrim, and healer. Through a crazy sequence of events, Rasputin finds himself at the right hand of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra and sometimes seems to hold just as much influence as the royal family itself.

Rasputin was also a legendary partier and honestly it's shocking that he lived as long as he did. In the end it was a night of debauchery that killed him, but maybe not in exactly the way you might think. Let's just say that Rasputin's life was weird right up until the end.

This audiobook presents an excellent view not only of Rasputin's life journey, but also of turn-of-the-century Russia. You'll learn about Russian politics, the complexities of the church, and Tsar Nicholas' war strategy.

Curtis Sisco does a solid job reading this book. I honestly didn't notice him much one way or another, which usually means he did a fine job!

In summary: If you have any interested in Rasputin or strange tales of history - pick this one up!
