INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: Explore the history of magic and the occult in “the most interesting, informative, and thought-provoking book on the subject” (Sunday Telegraph). Colin Wilson’s great classic work is a comprehensive history of mystery and magic. His genius lies in producing a skillful synthesis of the available material, seeing the occult in the light of reason—and reason in the light of the mystical and paranormal. This international bestseller is an enlightening 800-page exploration of the occult in 3 distinct parts: • PART ONE: Start your journey with a wide-ranging survey of the occult and magic. • PART TWO: Tour the vast history of magic, from Man’s evolution to the kabbalists and beyond. • PART THREE: Explore Man’s latent powers, including witchcraft, lycanthropy, and more Republished after his death, and with a new foreword by bibliographer Colin Stanley, Wilson brings his own refreshingly optimistic and stimulating interpretation to the worlds of the paranormal, the occult, and the supernatural.
