A New Edition of the First ever written.
Full-Bodied Biography on Nostradamus.
By world-renowned Nostradamus expert: John Hogue
Over the last 500 years, the sixteenth-century French doctor, Michel de Nostradamus, and his obscure yet compelling prophecies, have cast a spell on generations of readers to the present day. The time is ripe for a reassessment of the man and his myth.
A Christian physician by day, and an underground Jewish astrologer and Pagan theurgist by night, Nostradamus risked his life issuing a bestselling, serialized book of 1,000 predictions on the future, published between 1555 and 1561. He attracted both support and enmity from the most powerful people in France, and while the Queen of France bestowed honors, the Justices of the Inquisition cast a dark and threatening shadow.
John Hogue traces the life and legacy of the French prophet in fascinating and insightful detail, revealing much little known and original material in in this first, full-bodied biography of one of the most famous and controversial historical figures of the last millennium.
