Cagliostro
14.99 €
A Freemason, prophet, and spirit-summoner, this Sicilian, whose real name was Giuseppe Balsamo, possessed truly inexhaustible ingenuity and extraordinary hypnotic powers, which allowed him to bewitch nearly all of enlightened Europe. But, having become convinced of his own destiny, Cagliostro failed to notice how he had become a bargaining chip in the political games of the powers that be, terrified by the French Revolution. The lush trail of rumors that followed Cagliostro's every move already transformed him into an enigmatic figure during his lifetime, becoming an inexhaustible source of inspiration for writers, poets, mystics, and occultists.

This book, based on extensive documentary material, presents Balsamo-Cagliostro as a man of his time, not only a talented exploiter of timeless human passions but also a master of grasping the spiritual quests of his contemporaries. And whether or not to believe in the immortality of the divine sorcerer Cagliostro is up to the reader himself...
