The essential guidebook to the mind-expanding experiences and discoveries of the 20th century.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - Explore the history of magic and the occult in the most interesting, informative, and thought-provoking book on the subject (Sunday Telegraph).

Colin Wilson's great classic work is a comprehensive history of mystery and magic. His genius lies in producing a skilful synthesis of the available material, seeing the occult in the light of reason—and reason in the light of the mystical and paranormal. This international bestseller is an enlightening 800-page exploration of the occult in three distinct parts:

  • PART ONE - Start your journey with a wide-ranging survey of the occult and magic.
  • PART TWO - Tour the vast history of magic, from man's evolution to the kabbalists and beyond.
  • PART THREE - Explore man's latent powers, including witchcraft, lycanthropy, and more.

Republished after his death, and with a new foreword by bibliographer Colin Stanley, Wilson brings his own refreshingly optimistic and stimulating interpretation to the worlds of the paranormal, the occult, and the supernatural.
