One of the classics in occult and astrological literature, translated, edited, and interpreted by Erika Cheetham. Since his predictions first appeared in print in 1555, Nostradamus's reputation has grown and been celebrated throughout the world. This sixteenth-century French physician and astrologer foresaw the events of his own and future times with remarkable clarity. During the last four centuries his prophecies have been coming true with strartling regularity: the execution of King Charles I, the abdication of Edward VIII, the rise and fall of Hitler, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. In addition to these, Ms. Cheetham discusses other famous prophecies, including the Great Fire of London, the rise and fall of Napoleon, the Cuban missile crisis, and the threat posed to the Western world by Communist China.

Kings, dictators, industrialists, heads of state, and common citizens have long heeded the seer's prophetic quatrains, which are here set side by side in the original French and new English translation. Unabridged, this authoritative and scholarly new edition includes a detailed biographical introduction and illuminating commentary.
