Four hundred years ago, the publication of these three anonymous documents launched the Rosicrucian movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMuch has been written and argued about the movement—is it a myth, hoax, or spiritual phenomenon?—and interest in it is far from extinct. Who were the Rosicrucians? An organisation of profound thinkers in rebellion against 17th-century religious restrictions, or an isolated brotherhood of alchemical philosophers and esoteric sages?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe story of Christian Rosenkreuz and his secretive order, as told in the \u003cem\u003eFama Fraternitatis\u003c\/em\u003e, had political repercussions that continue to this day, while \u003cem\u003eThe Chemical Wedding\u003c\/em\u003e is a landmark in European fantasy fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis present book offers the three founding documents in reliable, readable, modern English. Fully annotated and with modern introductions, these new translations explain the historical context, shed light on the beginnings of the Rosicrucian Order, and bring this fascinating material to a wider readership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46869026472172,"sku":"9781578636037","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1237873482750.jpg?v=1759781145","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-rosicrucian-trilogy-9781578636037","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
