Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The amazing surprise "New York Times" bestseller, filled with "breathtaking glimpses into worlds that heretofore have been little explored" ("Foreward") They say that history is written by the victors. But what if history-or what we come to know as history-has been written by the wrong people? What if everything we've been told is only part of the story? In this groundbreaking and now famous work, Mark Booth embarks on an enthralling tour of our world's secret histories. Starting from a dangerous premise-that everything we've known about our world's past is corrupted, and that the stories put forward by the various cults and mystery schools throughout history are true-Booth produces nothing short of an alternate history of the past 3,000 years. From Greek and Egyptian mythology to Jewish folklore, from Christian cults to Freemasons, from Charlemagne to Don Quixote, from George Washington to Hitler- Booth shows that history needs a revolutionary rethink, and he has 3,000 years of hidden wisdom to back it up. In this groundbreaking new work, Booth embarks on an enthralling intellectual tour of the worlds secret histories. Starting from a dangerous premise--that everything taught about the worlds past is corrupted--the author produces nothing short of an alternate history of the past 3,000 years.

Product Description""An entire library s worth of scholarship [in] a single volume." -San Francisco Gate"Authentically mind-boggling." -KirkusThey say that history is written by the victors. But what if history-or what we have come to know as history-has been written by the wrong people? What if everything we ve been told is only part of the story?In this groundbreaking and now famous work, Mark Booth embarks on an enthralling tour of our world s secret histories. Starting from a dangerous premise-that everything we ve known about our world s past is corrupted, and that the stories put forward by the various cults and mystery schools throughout history are true-Booth produces nothing short of an alternate history of the past 3,000 years. Topics include: Greek and Egyptian mythology Jewish folklore Christian Freemasons Charlemagne Don Quixote George Washington Adolph Hitler And more! Booth writes in his introduction, "Although this book can be read just as a record of the absurd things people have believed, an epic phantasmagoria, a cacophony of irrational experiences, I hope that by the end some readers will hear some harmonies and perhaps also sense a slight philosophical undertow, which is the suggestion that it may be true."Here is a book that shows that history needs a revolutionary rethink, and Mark Booth has 3,000 years of hidden wisdom to back it up. If you ve ever wondered if the history you learned in school was wrong, or wondered if conspiracy theorists could be right, then the history in this book offers a perspective you ll want to explore."ReviewPraise for The Secret History of the World"An entire library's worth of scholarship [in] a single volume."?San Francisco Gate"Authentically mind-boggling."?Kirkus"Booth's history incorporates so many disparate philosophies. . . His universe is full of bizarre theories, entertaining primarily for their weirdness."?Publishers WeeklyAbout the AuthorMark Booth studied Philosophy and Theology at Oriel College, Oxford. He has worked in publishing for over twenty years, and is currently the publisher of Coronet, an imprint of Hodder & Stoughton/Hachette. Nº de ref. del artículo: BKZN9781590201626
