Editorial Reviews
From Independent Publisher
On the cusp of the millennium, this weighty volume will likely ride the wave of renewed interest in fin de siecle-type prophecies. This 16th century French physician and occultist has a four century edge of notoriety over contemporary prognosticators. Noting his quarter century investment of research, this Seattle author is admittedly a longtime Nostradamus believer who still claims to present a comprehensive, objective interpretation of these prophecies into the distant future. Written in archaic French, in 1,100 cryptic quatrains (filling 10 volumes in their original incarnation!), they aimed to give rational semblance to the mysteries of the divine while confounding the ever-threatening Inquisition. Like all believers in matters beyond verification by science, Hogue (credentials unspecified) harnesses Nostradamus' ambiguities to buttress his own beliefs - a fault he acidly criticizes in others, as well as to rationalize that averted (i. e., incorrectly predicted) destinies are either misinterpretations or the result of free will. Whether or not one accepts that symbolic representations such as "the crooked cross" portend the Nazi swastika, and others the AIDS epidemic, this compendium is fascinating for its biography of a man - and elucidation of the controversies over his interpreters - who will continue to be controversial into the 21st century. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
