About this ebook
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.

Just about anyone would find this book fascinating. Wilson engagingly covers human history and philosophy as he looks objectively at esoteric ideas that have persisted for millennia.
