The authoritative volume of the life's work of this extraordinary visionary.Over the past four centuries, Nostradamus's predictions have proven startlingly accurate. Long before their actual invention, mechanical devices such as the periscope, the submarine, and the airplane appear in accurate detail in the great seer's journals. Other passages foresee Napoleon's conquest, the Bolshevik Revolution, the rise of Hitler, and countless events yet to come. The French occultist won extraordinary fame in his own lifetime, curing thousands in the plague years by unorthodox remedies. He published his first collection of prophecies in 1555, and had composed 1100 quatrains by the time of his death. Stewart Robb's concise translation selects Nostradamus's most lauded prophecies, tracing their symbolism, anagrams, and mythological allusions. Robb's scholarly expertise elucidates every facet of these remarkable writings which remain eerily insightful to this day. Prophecies on World Events remains our potent and vital companion as we enter the twenty-first century.

In a conversation with Walter de la Mare and another friend (reproduced in the Introduction) George Moore, the Anglo-Irish novelist and man of letters, proposed "an anthology of pure poetry, the only one lacking on the book stalls." Almost fifty years since the anthology's first appearance, it is still the only such one ever attempted. By "pure poetry" Moore meant lasting objects of verbal beauty and imagination that serve no purpose other than poetic enjoyment. Thus this delightful book of selections from both familiar and surprising sources―among others, Ben Jonson, Blake, Tennyson, Poe Walter Savage Landor, and Swinburne.

Problems of Human Pleasure and Behavior

In Problems of Human Pleasure and Behavior he addresses himself to a variety of subjects of interest to both the layman and the practicing clinical psychologist or psychiatrist: among others, sex and society, masturbation, discipline, menstruation, punishment, aging, and parapsychology. His famous essay, "The Doctor, His Patient, and the Illness," is here along with important accounts of Pavlov, Sandor Ferenczi, the Marquis de Sade, and Geza Roheim.

These arresting and memorable poems are filled with love and history. Not general love and history, for the author is a poet of the particular and he writes of quite individual loves and of episodes of quite local history.Several long poems of absorbing skill stand out in the book: "Requiem for Christine Latrobe," "Letter Concerning the Yellow Fever," and "The Assassins," an imagined address after the deed from John Wilkes Booth to one of his co-conspirators. A deep sense of place, namely of Baltimore, Tidewater Country, and Appalachian Maryland, informs the pages of this book. Yet through the art of his poetry, Epstein makes what begins as local history and personal feeling end as part of the reader's own country. It is finally the geography of the human mind and heart that is the design of this impressive work.
