Free eBooks The Complete Prophecies Of Nostradamus Available To Downloads
Here are the complete prophecies of Nostradamus. Nostradamus is the best known and most accurate mystic and seer of all times. There are those who say that he predicted Napoleon and even the attack on the World Trade Center. Read the prophecies and judge for yourself. Since governments, sects and countries will undergo such sweeping changes, diametrically opposed to what now obtains, that were I to relate events to come, those in power now - monarchs, leaders of sects and religions - would find these so different from their own imaginings that they would be led to condemn what later centuries will learn how to see and understand. - Nostradamus

This book is useful in that it lists all of Nostradamus's prophecies and that's what I wanted. A cross-index by what Nostradamus actually SAID as opposed to what the interpreter THOUGHT would have been nice (i.e. how many prophecies referred to "the great one" (Jackie Gleason?)). However, I perceive no rhyme or reason as to how it is determined that this prophecy relates to WW II, that one relates to the 18th century, another one relates to the future, at that one over there relates to something in Nostradamus's own time. The words "clearly" and "obvious" are used with far too little justification. Single terms ("great one," "eagle", etc.) are identified as different parties in different prophecies. No pattern of literal or symbolic is evident. No hint as to why one prophecy talks about individuals while another one discusses nations. Quite honestly, the space that was used in printing the original French phrases (which were pretty much useless to me, anyway) could have been put to better discussion of the interpretations. If you're interested in Nostradamus in a casual way, like I am, this is a place to start, I guess, but it's certainly not of much use for any serious study.
At about 288 pages, this is a terrific bargain for the content. Stll, for this sort of content, I'm thinking the print version might be more appreciated, simply because of the need to go back and forth, as one would an encyclopedia.That suggestion is not meant to denigrate the efforts of the publisher. I am glad I did purchase my copy and will refer to it from time to time, while traveling (staying in hotels or while flying those long international flights.I also want to point out, the quatrains I have read are the same as my older, antiquarian version. For me, this is important, as some publishers are known to be attempting to write modern predictions of recent events, then claiming they are copies of prophecies by Nostradamus.Bottom line? This is a good Kindle version that you can buy with confidence without making a major expenditure. Indeed, this is a good Kindle version of the Original version, worth the selling price many times over.
Actually, for the text itself, I give it four stars, while I only give the commentary two.First, Nostradamus-- I'll admit that I'm more or less uninterested in the prophecy side of the verses. I was interested in reading them for their historical value. As such, it's a great read. Through the verses, you get a look at the period's preoccupations-- who is named pope, the future of France, alchemy, and the desire to distinguish prophecy from astrology. Nostradamus has had an enduring impact on writing since he put his prophecies on paper, and you can trace that legacy here from the original verses.The commentary-- Henry C. Robert's interpretation taught me more about World War II than anything else-- he seemed determined to prove that a disproportionate number of the verses referred to the second World War. Probably unsurprising, given that he first wrote his interpretations in 1947. However, he stretched so hard to fit the words to his ideas, that it unfortunately made me suspect his translation. I also could have done with more of an effort for establishing on what basis he was assigning some of the meanings (explanation of period symbolism, the alchemical references, etc.).If I get a chance to buy another translation version and compare, I probably will.
Although I haven't read all the quatrains, the ones I have read were really profound. I enjoyed reading this translation of Nostradamus's prophecies especially seeing some of them come true whilst reading it in 1999 and 2000, if my memory serves me correctly. It is wonderfully written with excitement and wisdom. It is a good book to buy on Nostradamus for anyone who is interested in understanding his work and life.
I have read this book many times starting when I was in High school. This is a book my father had everyone of his girls read and I purchased it in order to finally have a copy on my book shelve. I strongly stand by that everyone should read this book once in their lifetime. It's so much fun to sit back and read events and try and piece together was event he was seeing and trying to find which events haven't happened. This book is easy to read and I couldn't find any predictions missing or edited so much it took away from anything. Based on the 25 yr old version I have read in the past and this one nothing is missing!!I did pay full retail price for this product
This is a great book if you're a fan or like to collect. It is a little difficult to get at first seeing as the prophecies are arranged by dates rather than the time they were written. Either way for the price it is a good read to pass time for a week or if you're a fan then as a collectible.
The author's interpretations of the quatrains are very poor.Some of his interpretations have absolutely nothing to do with the translations.I realize that the interpretations are open to much discussion but he is way off the mark on most of them.This is a very poor book on Nostradamus.
