From the Back Cover:

From the 16th century came visions of today...

Four hundred years ago, Michel de Nostredame sat alone in a dark secret room studying the forbidden books on the occult. By his side stood a brass tripod and placed on that was a simple bowl of water. But the water shimmered and grew cloudy and from within its depths came visions of the future...visions which told of the Great Fire of London, the Second World War, air travel, the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy, the deposition of the Shah of Iran and the rise to power of Ayatollah Khomeini and the Gulf War.

The Prophecies of Nostradamus is a medieval guide to the future of the world. It includes an introduction to his life, and the original French quatrains and English translations are set side-by-side with interpretations by Erika Cheetham.

About the Author:

Erika Cheetham
Nostradamus was born in 1503. His great intellect was soon evident and he was sent to study medicine in 1522. He soon earned a reputation as a great healer and legends about his prophetic powers began to circulate. His prophecies were published from 1550 to 1568 and many of them have come true, including his prediction of his own death in 1566.
