Download or read book Tolstoy Rasputin Others and Me written by Teffi and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in her literary career Nadezhda Lokhvitskaya, born in St. Petersburg in 1872, adopted the pen-name of Teffi, and it is as Teffi that she is remembered. In prerevolutionary Russia she was a literary star, known for her humorous satirical pieces; in the 1920s and 30s, she wrote some of her finest stories in exile in Paris, recalling her unforgettable encounters with Rasputin, and her hopeful visit at age thirteen to Tolstoy after reading War and Peace. In this selection of her best autobiographical stories, she covers a wide range of subjects, from family life to revolution and emigration, writers and writing. Like Nabokov, Platonov, and other great Russian prose writers, Teffi was a poet who turned to prose but continued to write with a poet’s sensitivity to tone and rhythm. Like Chekhov, she fuses wit, tragedy, and a remarkable capacity for observation; there are few human weaknesses she did not relate to with compassion and understanding.

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

Download or read book Rasputin written by Douglas Smith and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2016-11-22 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the centenary of the death of Rasputin comes a definitive biography that will dramatically change our understanding of this fascinating figure A hundred years after his murder, Rasputin continues to excite the popular imagination as the personification of evil. Numerous biographies, novels, and films recount his mysterious rise to power as Nicholas and Alexandra's confidant and the guardian of the sickly heir to the Russian throne. His debauchery and sinister political influence are the stuff of legend, and the downfall of the Romanov dynasty was laid at his feet. But as the prizewinning historian Douglas Smith shows, the true story of Rasputin's life and death has remained shrouded in myth. A major new work that combines probing scholarship and powerful storytelling, Rasputin separates fact from fiction to reveal the real life of one of history's most alluring figures. Drawing on a wealth of forgotten documents from archives in seven countries, Smith presents Rasputin in all his complexity--man of God, voice of peace, loyal subject, adulterer, drunkard. Rasputin is not just a definitive biography of an extraordinary and legendary man but a fascinating portrait of the twilight of imperial Russia as it lurched toward catastrophe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
Download or read book The Romanovs Rasputin Revolution Fall of the Russian Royal Family Rasputin and the Russian Revolution With a Short Account Rasputin written by Princess Catherine Radziwill and published by Leonaur Limited. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astonishing last days of the Russian imperial dynasty The principal work in this special Leonaur edition caused a sensation when it was first published since it is a 'tell it all' from the pen of an insider in the Russian court during the first years of the 20th century. Its revelations upon publication would have brought disaster upon the author, Count Paul Vassili, had he not died, thus putting him beyond the vengeance of all earthly monarchs. However, the author was not in reality the deceased count, but the living Princess Catherine Radziwill, who had written disguised under the dead man's identity to avoid repercussions. Her deception was successful, and her true identity remained secret until after the catastrophic events that swept away the Romanov, making exposes concerning their lives irrelevant. Nevertheless, there remains a fascination with the affairs of the doomed Russian royal family. The murders of the tsar, his wife and their children, came about as a consequence of the Communist revolution in Russia, which abhorred all that it believed to be decadent and dissolute. No individual represented the disassociation of the royal family from its people more than the infamous 'mad monk', Grigori Rasputin, whose excesses, and influence over the Tsarina Alexandra and her circle, were a notorious scandal. Princess Radziwill's writings open a window into the maelstrom of those incredible times revealing details and perspectives which could only come from an observer close to the events described in these pages. To give another view from a female eye-witness present at the royal court during this period, this Leonaur edition also includes a short account of Rasputin at the height of his influence. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Stalin and The Last Tsar comes The Rasputin File, a remarkable biography of the mystical monk and bizarre philanderer whose role in the demise of the Romanovs and the start of the revolution can only now be fully known. For almost a century, historians could only speculate about the role Grigory Rasputin played in the downfall of tsarist Russia. But in 1995 a lost file from the State Archives turned up, a file that contained the complete interrogations of Rasputin’s inner circle. With this extensive and explicit amplification of the historical record, Edvard Radzinsky has written a definitive biography, reconstructing in full the fascinating life of an improbable holy man who changed the course of Russian history. Translated from the Russian by Judson Rosengrant.
