The key to dating Nostradamus’ always intriguing and popular predications has now been discovered! Award-winning author Mario Reading finally found the long-searched-for key, and with it, has uncovered the secret connection that links the seer’s various quatrains. With this new knowledge, he can interpret these astonishing predictions in formerly unimagined ways…and give us a glimpse of what the future holds. Among the amazing finds: Nostradamus foresaw the Twin Towers disaster, the Iraq War, the devastating tsunamis, and the flooding of New Orleans. But even more, Reading’s groundbreaking translations and sharp commentary states precisely what is still to come. His sometimes extraordinary and shocking forecasts include the demise of the British Monarchy, the breakup of the European Union, and Global War.
This was hardly worth the time.. Well where to start. The book was 1 guy trying to interpret Nostradamus's prophecies, whom failed miserably.Sometimes I would think to myself" did this guy just put whatever popped into his head on this paper".
When I purchased this book I was expecting to get a glimpse at all of NOSTRADAMUS'S prophecies rather then Mario Reading prophecies. If you read how he interpreted some of his prophecies you would laugh, mainly for the fact that not even one came true in the time-line in which he has written them.
Truth be told, Nostradamus wrote his predictions is a way which cannot be interpreted until the time has come to pass. It would have gotten a 1 if it didn't include the quatrains next to the prophecies Mario predicted(HAHA)
To conclude I would not recommend this book to a person that wants to read Nostradamus's prophecies rather then Mario's
Sorry sir for the bad review, but I had to....
Good luck and god bless
Oh yea keep this in mind everyone. You probably aren't like me and would even possibly like the book.So don't let me disengage you.However, tread with caution.
Very Pleased! I was very pleased with the condition of the book and the speed it was delivered in.
Authoritative translation of Nostradamus' texts Everyone seems to know at least something about Nostradamus' prophecies, although this knowledge is often hazy, frequently second-hand and never fully based on the evidence. Mario Reading has done us all a favour by re-examining the original texts and offering what must surely rank as one, if not the, authoritative translation. To begin with, he provides a short biographical sketch of Nostradamus' life and times, which not only establishes Nostradamus' place in society but also firmly helps to dispel some of the myths about his person.
We then turn to the prophecies. The original French text is provided alongside the new English translation. This serves to show not only the frequently puzzling ambiguity of the original text, but also the care that has gone into providing an authoritative translation. By using a new technique that is often alluded to, but obviously never fully disclosed, the author is able to draw out references and meaning between -- as much as within -- the prophecies.
By providing a new, authoritative translation of Nostradamus' complete prophecies of the future, Mario Reading has cut through the thicket of much of the more speculative Nostradamus industry that is out there. I am certain that one of the prophecies, as yet undiscovered (or falsely translated), will in future admonish us all to read only this book about the prophecies of Nostradamus.
