Publishers Page QUOTE: 1) Rasputin . . . . . . . The Rascal Monk ~~~ Disclosing the Soviet Scandal of the 'Betrayal of Russia' by the mock-monk ''Grichka,'' and the consequent Ruin of the Romanoffs. With Official Documents revealed and recorded for the first time By William le Queux. *** Library Thing REVIEW by: 2) devenish | Apr 26, 2013 | As with several books by this author of the same type,this is a mixture of fact and fiction.We must remember that this volume was written in the middle of the First World War and that both the Kaiser and Rasputin were hate figures at this time. In the case of the 'mad monk',solid facts are still difficult to come by. Although there is clearly a framework of truth here,many of the connections Le Queux makes in this book have never been verified. For instance,was he in fact an agent of Germany and was he actively working against Russia together with the German-born Tsaritza ? Anyway it raises many questions which after all these years still require answers, and this is certainly one possibility.

August Strindberg’s novel The Red Room centers on the civil servant Arvid Falk as he tries to find meaning in his life through the pursuit of writing. He’s accompanied by a crew of painters, sculptors and philosophers each on their own journey for the truth, who meet in the “Red Room” of a local restaurant. Drawing heavily on August’s own experiences, The Red Room was published in Sweden in 1879. Its reception was less than complimentary in Sweden—a major newspaper called it “dirt”—but it fared better in the rest of Scandinavia and soon was recognised in his home country. Since then it has been translated into multiple languages, including the 1913 English translation by Ellise Schleussner presented here.
