RASPUTIN
Antony Beevor
Hachette
Pp 384, Rs 699
Rasputin had no official position, no forces at his command. Yet, he contributed more to the fall of the Romanov dynasty than any other individual. Just as Rasputin cast a spell over the Romanovs, his legend has bewitched historians. More than a century later, we still fail to comprehend fully the collapse of the greatest autocracy on Earth. Was there any truth to the wild tales that brought down the empire? Or was his true legacy an unsettling lesson on the potency of myth?

Growing up in a small Indonesian town, Sato Reang has a happy childhood playing soccer and watching crickets fight. Until the day he is circumcised—and his father declares that he is now ‘a pious boy’. Inwardly chafing, Sato outwardly obeys his father’s strictures—until his father dies. That is when Sato decides to achieve his ambition of not being pious and embarks on a life of mischief. What starts as schoolboy fun ends in tragedy.
