Nostradamus has been credited with anticipating the Great Fire of London, the rise of Adolf Hitler, and the September 11 terrorist attacks. Today, as the world grapples with financial meltdowns, global terrorism, and environmental disasters--as well as the Mayan prediction of the apocalypse on December 21, 2012--his prophecies of doom have assumed heightened relevance. How has  The Prophecies  outlasted most books from the Renaissance? This edition considers its legacy in terms of the poetics of the quatrains, published here in a brilliant new translation and with introductory material and notes mapping the cultural, political, and historical forces that resonate throughout Nostradamus's epic, giving it its visionary power. 410 0$aHardcover Classics 606 $aProphecies (Occultism) 615 0$aProphecies (Occultism) 676 $a133.3 700 $aNostradamus$0564344 701 $aSieburth$b Richard$01078098 701 $aGerson$b Ste?phane$00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163955903321 996 $aThe Prophecies$92589737 997 $aUNINA
