How did he achieve such a rapid change in fortunes? Was it through palace intrigue or magic and mind control? Or perhaps, the causes were a combination of hypnosis and haemophilia? The tsar’s son Nicholas had been born with the dreaded “royal disease” otherwise known as the blood clotting deficiency named haemophilia. The slightest cut or scrape could be life-threatening for the young boy. The self-proclaimed healer managed to convince the royal family that he was the only way that their son would stay alive. With a role this vital, there was no way that Rasputin would be dropped from the imperial payroll anytime soon. Inside you will read about... - From Peasant Monk to Royal Holy Man - Rasputin’s Miracle - Immoral Rumors - Rasputin’s Banishment - Rasputin During World War I - The End of Rasputin’s Reign And much more! Through intrigue, divine intervention, or perhaps just the sheer force of his personality, he forever cemented his place in Russian history. Read about the mad monk turned master minister—read about the astonishing rise and fall that comprised the life of Grigori Rasputin. Review: Fascinating! - I've read quite a few of Hourly History's books now, and this one is a favorite (so far!). Rasputin is a person I've heard about all of my life, but I never knew much of his story. For a relatively short book (50 pages), it covers a lot of territory and paints a pretty clear picture of the "mad monk" that played such a huge role in Russian history in the early 20th century. The various "miracles" that Rasputin performed have me intrigued enough to follow up in more depth. That is the beauty of Hourly History's offerings. Their books are intended to be read in about an hour, and they give enough information to review a subject or to see if you want to explore it in more depth. Many historical figures have been covered as have many historic events including battles, wars, etc. With so much of life moving toward "instant gratification," Hourly History is filling that niche with lessons about history's important events and people. I really think they're great! Review: A GLIMPSE INTO THE LIFE… - This short read of approximately fifty pages can be read in an hour or less. As such, it cannot be considered a comprehensive review of “The Mad Monk’s” life. It is one of the better books in this history series. The book begins with Rasputin’s life as a troubled child born in a small village in Siberia. He had many clandestine meetings with his followers, many of which were women. Rasputin soon developed a reputation as a womanizer. On the other hand, his banishment to a monastery led to the development of a mystical streak. Rasputin had a habit of carrying out everything in his life to extreme limits. When the monk cured the Tsar and Tsarina’s son, his history of miracles emerged to become a factor. Rasputin would divide the Greek Orthodox church into factions. He soon found himself surrounded by enemies. During his life, he found himself in and out of favor with the Russian monarchy as well as the common populace. His ability to work miracles protected him from harm many times. He reportedly survived an assassination attempt by poison, only to be shot while making his escape. The combination of factors including World War I and its effect on the Russian populace would eventually doom the Russian government. This book will give readers a decent overview of Rasputin’s colorful life and role in twentieth century Russian history. It whets the appetite and interested readers can move on to more comprehensive studies. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,173,034 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,447 in Russian History (Books) #1,978 in Mysticism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 753 Reviews | ## Images ![Grigori Rasputin: A Life From Beginning to End (History of Russia) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jkx3wN8DL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating! *by K***S on February 14, 2019* I've read quite a few of Hourly History's books now, and this one is a favorite (so far!).

Even Rasputin. The Hourly History books are very enjoyable to listen to, especially when the narrator has a British accent. This book was was full of detail in a very concise manner. It wasn't full of gossipy tidbits like some books. It was factual but not in a boring lecturing kind of way. I highly recommend not only this book but the entire line of Hourly History. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/218021533-grigori-rasputin-a-life-from-beginning-to-end-history-russia](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/218021533-grigori-rasputin-a-life-from-beginning-to-end-history-russia) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
