From the bestselling author of The New Revelations comes the most complete book ever published on the life and prophecies of the 16th-century French doctor/astrologist. This new examination of his works includes interpretations based on computer analyses of all 36,000 words of Nostradamus' original writings.
Anyone who wants to believe in all the prophecies can, but I have to admit that he has all so well-knit that nobody knows when the prophecies will happen.
It wasn't my cup of tea. My Dad really likes Nostradamus but I don't see the reason. Sure, he's had a lot of prophecies correct, and it's amazing to see. But to see what's to come is the most scariest. I choose to ignore it, but I work at a book store, so almost every other customer asks if we have a book on Nostradamus book, and they go on for hours about his prophecies. I really don't like to be reminded of him or his prophecies. But that's just me.
Hats off to John Hogue for making Nostradamus more accessible. These almost impenetrable quatrains are a maze of double-meanings, hidden by language barriers and centuries of possible interpretations. No one person can understand it all, but with persistence and hard work, some of these predictions can be understood.
Prophecy at its best, and oldest. Puzzles that have been answered, according to the "experts". I got a pretty good laugh out of some of them. Some are thought provoking but take this as entertainment and you will not be disappointed.
Bilingual translation. I am going to admit that I skimmed a lot of this, but I appreciated Hogue's detailed work. I'm sure he would want to update it for the last 20-some years, but no complaints.
