Book Review - The Prophecies of Nostradamus

#BookReviews





Blurb:
“Being seated by night in secret study,
Alone resting on the brass stool:
A slight flame coming forth from the solitude,
That which is not believed in vain is made to succeed.”

More than four centuries ago, Nostradamus, a French physician and seer, predicted many events which later shook the world. The Great Fire of London, the rise of Hitler to power, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the assassination of President John Kennedy and the 9/11 terrorist attacks are some of the events he prophesied.
The Prophecies is a collection of Nostradamus’ oracular quatrains containing his predictions. This edition is a translation by Edgar Leoni.

Review:

"Mesmerizing

Nostradamus has always fascinated me. His prophecies have always intrigued me.

He was a fictional character in one of the shows I watched years ago, 'Reign'. And the way his far-sightedness is depicted there forced me to dwell on his powers.

Who was he? What aided his sights? What triggered them? And so many more questions always pop in my mind when I think about this mastermind.
Well, what can we say today, he is a character of the past and we cannot do much about it.

Hence, when I saw this book, i was intrigued.
This book contains so many nostradomus's prophecies. They are just amazing.

Yes, it would have been better if they were translated well, and centuries were labeled properly. But at the price and levels, this is the best we can expect.

I am still in awe of this book."




Hope you enjoy reading it.

Lots of Love
