Publisher's Synopsis
A wide-ranging collection of colourful essays by English author and philosopher John Michell. For those readers only familiar with his better-known writings on Earth Mysteries, unusual phenomena and eccentric figures, much of the material here will be a pleasant surprise. Divided into nine sections, this collection of essays presents Michell's thoughts on a wealth of heretical topics, from Ancient echoes of a Golden Age to the madness of modernity and the unfolding of the Apocalypse.
