Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Princess Catherine Radziwill (1858-1941) was a Polish-Russian aristocrat, born in Russia into the Polish-Lituanian House of Rzewuski. On her maternal side was the Russian Dashkov-Vorontsov family, and her mother, who died giving birth to Catherine, was the daughter of writer Dmitry Vasilyevich Dashkov who served as Nicholas I's minister of justice. There were other literary connections within the family, among them her great-great-grandfather Waclaw Rzewuski, a noted writer, her aunt Ewelina, wife of Balzac, and her half-brother Stanislaw Rzewuski who became a novelist and literary critic. Aged 15 in 1873 Catherine married Polish-Lithuanian Prince Wilhelm Radziwill, an officer in the Prussian army, with whom she had seven children, five of whom survived to adulthood. She made her own literary debut in 1884 under the pseudonym Count Paul Vasili, with a series of articles later collected in book form as Berlin Society. In 1888 Catherine moved to St Petersburg where she held a prominent position at the Russian court and began an affair with Cherevin, the court commandant, a trusted friend of Alexander III. Her situation took a downturn in the mid-1890s with the deaths of both her lover and the Tsar, and, now estranged from her husband and children, she acquired debts which could not be covered by the magazine articles she produced. In 1899 she left for South Africa in pursuit of Cecil Rhodes who settled her debts but avoided a romantic entanglement, and Catherine later published a biography of Rhodes. A scandal surrounding an attempt to clear her son's debts in London led to her return to South Africa where she had a son out of wedlock with an associate of Rhodes, and was later iimprisoned for forging bills in Rhodes's name. During her time in jail she wrote a memoir, My Recollections (1904), and, finally divorced in 1906, she married again in 1909, settling once more in St Petersburg. Here she published two more books, Behind the Veil of the Russian Court (1913), again under her pen-name Paul Vasili, which drew on her intimate knowledge of court affairs, and a second autobiographical work. During WWI she moved to Stockholm, publishing a dozen books over a four-year span, and when later, on a visit to New York, she learned of her husband's death, she decided to remain in the US, spending the rest of her life in New York.

TO MONSIEUR JEAN FINOT Editor of the "Revue" My dear Mr. Finot: -- Allow me to offer you this little book, which may remind you of the many conversations we have had together, and of the many Utters which we have exchanged. In doing so, 1 am fulfilling one of the pUasantest of duties and trying to express to you all the gratitude which I feel towards you. Without your kind help, and without your advice, I would never have had the courage to take a pen in my hand, and all the small success I may have had in my literary career is entirely due to you, and to the constant encouragement which you have always given to me, and which I shall never forget, just as I shall always remember that it was in the "Revue" that the first article I ever published appeared. Permit me to-day to thank you from the bottom of my heart, and believe me to be, Always yours most affectionately, Catherine Radziwill (Catherine Kolb-Danvin) PUBLISHER'S FOREWORD When the book called "Behind the Veil at the Russian Court" was published the Romanoffs were reigning and, considering the fact that she was living in Russia at the time, the author of it, had her identity become known, would have risked being subjected to grave annoyances, and even being sent to that distant Siberia where Nicholas II is at present exiled. It was therefore deemed advisable to produce that work as a posthumous one, and "Count Paul Vassili" was represented as having died before the publication of "his" Memoirs. This however was not the case, because on the contrary "he" went on collecting information as to all that was taking place at the Russian Court as well as in the whole of Russia, and, consigning this information to a diary, "he" went on writing. If one remembers, "Count Vassili" di

Book excerpt: Rasputin and the Russian Revolution is an exciting look at the personality of Rasputin by a contemporary observer of the last days of the Romanov monarchy and the revolution. Princess Radziwill was an intimate of royals and witnessed Rasputin's deeds. She was one of few people surviving the revolution who could share the intimate details of the royal family's lives and the role of Rasputin in the upcoming political turmoil. Radziwill accuses Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra of too much fascination with Rasputin, which negatively affected further country development.
