-Romain Rolland. "A magnificent work both in text and illustrations."

-Knut Hamsun.

"It is extraordinary reading, stimulating, uncanny and most informing."

-Thomas Mann. "An astounding work." -Dmitri Merejkowsky.. "For years I have read no novel which laid bare a daemonic character so tensely and thrillingly.”

-Stefan Zweig. "Our first really deep-going account of the development of that extraordinary man and divine, of that country bumpkin who was the Czar's adviser."

-New York Times.

Here at last is the whole truth about one of the most fascinating and mysterious figures in history. In our own civilized age occurs this dramatic story of superstitions and horrors that date back to the days of Medieval darkness. "Preacher and brawler, redeemer and debauchee" Rasputin, the Siberian peasant, ruled over rulers and swayed the destinies of nations by the power of his eye.

No other biography of Rasputin has touched the depths of this book. The Soviet government threw open their secret records to the author revealing information which has never been disclosed before. "The human and inhuman breadth of his material surpasses any possible figment of the most audacious novelist's imagination" says The New York Times.
