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.

The first major literary presentation of Nostradamus's Prophecies, newly translated and edited by prize-winning scholarsA Penguin ClassicThe first major literary presentation of Nostradamus's Prophecies, newly translated and edited by prizewinning scholarsThe mysterious quatrains of the sixteenth-century French astrologer Nostradamus have long proved captivating for their predictions. 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.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
