The Comte de St. Germain: The Secret of Kings [Paperback]

I. Cooper-Oakley (Author), Paul Tice (Foreword), Annie Wood Besant (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 1999

St. Germain was considered a mystic, philosopher, and master alchemist of the 17th century who held the key to immortality. Sightings of him after his "death "by high-profile, credible people added to the legend. This is the most rare and sought after work concerning his life. The author was able to procure documents unavailable to others, which thereby allows some of the mystery to drop away. Nowhere beyond this book will one find documents written in St. Germain’s own hand, providing proof of his whereabouts and concerns during certain parts of his life. Cooper-Oakley does an impressive job tracing his movements between countries, thereby revealing many mysteries and secrets that surround him.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Man Who Does Not Die...", June 12, 2000

By

This review is from: The Comte de St. Germain: The Secret of Kings (Paperback)

Cooper-Oakley's biography on Comte de St. Germain is the first biographical sketch written about this enigmatic character. Called by Frederick the Great "The man who does not die" Saint Germain was said to possess the Elixir of Life, and to be virtually immortal. Germain was the friend, confident, and spy of European rulers for a generation. Two hundred years after his disappearance from the scene of politics, his reputation as an emissary from the Invisible Brotherhood intrigues us even more. While there is a definite Theosophical spin to her work, Cooper-Oakley's "Comte de St. German" remains to this day seminal reading for those interested in this "Unknown Superior" of Western Esotericism - Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism in particular - almost a century after it was written. A very good book and well worth reading by any one interested in the mysterious occult forces behind history. Jean Overton-Fuller's historical biography on Comte de Saint Germain is a fine follow-up to this one.

This review is from: The Comte de St. Germain (Paperback)

at the same time, this book explains some of the mysteries surrounding St Germain, and adds to the mystery as well. if you are interested in some of the history of europe and what St Germain did during the years leading up to and after the french revolution, this is a good read. more scholarly than most books, and hence a little tedious at times.
