Bücher von Joseph T. Fuhrmann

A biography of Grigory Rasputin, the Russian holy man who hastened the collapse of an empire. The book recounts Rasputin's journey from his peasant origins in Siberia to his powerful position at the right hand of Tsar Nicholas and Alexandra.

Nicholas and his German-born wife Alexandra generally used English in writing each other. We see in these pages the enormous love the couple shared against the backdrop of a bloody war and the approaching end of the Russian empire.
