This review is from: Count of Saint-Germain (Paperback)

This book is essentially the same as her original work- The Comte de St.Germain, The Secret of Kings. The older book was a spiral bound book done by Mrs. Oakley. This newer book was picked up by Kessinger Publishing. This is an excellent book for those who are interested in studying the historical evidence of the great Immortal, St. Germain known as The Wonderman of Europe. He was ageless and deathless and held the secret to the philosopher's stone. This book gives the reader details about St. Germain's interaction with the great Royal houses of Europe from their own diaires. Packed with plenty of intrigue, drama, and secret meetings you will enjoy reading the memoirs and diaries of those who met and interacted with this great man.

4.0 out of 5 stars Was the Count of Saint Germain ageless or a charlatan?, December 31, 2001

This review is from: Count of Saint-Germain (Paperback)

From what I gathered from this very fine research into a very mysterious person of history, who was a born Count Ragoczy of Siebenbuergen=Transylvania, approx. 1712, who suffered much intrigue by the Austrian Royal Court. He was in Russia when Catarina the Great, a German Princess, ascended the Russian Throne in St. Petersburg. He was in Paris closely associating with Madame de Pompadour in Versailles, later warning the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, daughter of the Austrian Emperess Maria Theresia, of the approaching danger of the revolution. It is astounding how careless and fete-loving this Royal, Marie Antoinette was. After the French Revolution of 1789, she and Louis XIV were executed at the scaffold 1792. There appear to be eye witnesses, who saw the Count still alive and looking well in 1822. The book deals with so many details, historically founded, that it is a jewel when it comes to a big part of European history during this era and the mysterious involvement of Count Saint Germain.
