Le previsioni dell'astrologo francese del xvi secolo nostradamus si sono dimostrate da tempo accattivanti. Gli è stato attribuito il merito di aver anticipato il grande incendio di londra, l'ascesa di adolf hitler e gli attacchi terroristici dell'11 settembre. Oggi, mentre il mondo è alle prese con crolli finanziari, terrorismo globale e disastri ambientali, nonché con la previsione maya dell'apocalisse del 21 dicembre 2012, le sue profezie di sventura hanno assunto una rilevanza accresciuta. Una nuova traduzione rivelatrice con l'originale francese a pagine affiancate, questa edizione presenta anche un ampio materiale introduttivo e supplementare, il tutto per aiutare a illuminare le forze culturali, politiche e storiche che risuonano in tutta l'epopea di nostradamus e le conferiscono il suo potere visionario.
