The mysterious quatrains of the sixteenth-century French astrologer Nostradamus have been credited with anticipating the Great Fire of London, the rise of Adolf Hitler, and the September 11 terrorist attacks. This revelatory new translation -- the first major literary presentation of The Prophecies -- features the original French on facing pages as well as extensive introductory and supplementary material, including a fascinating catalog of the verses that have provoked the most speculation over the centuries, and the historical events they have been used to explain. -- From back cover.
