“Crowley’s life, as told by himself. Whatever one may think of magic in general and of Aleister Crowley in particular, this book presents a fascinating account of the life of a truly extraordinary individual. A life lived with an intensity and breadth that few people ever experience. A constant traveler, a drug addict, a renowned mountaineer who, among other achievements, conquered K2. A saint and a monster, a writer and a magician. Even in his own time, he was one of the most controversial figures in the press. It is virtually impossible to describe this man’s character in a few words without completely ignoring at least half of his multifaceted personality. Of his monumental work, he himself said: ‘Nothing has been invented, nothing has been suppressed, nothing has been altered or distorted. I believe that the truth is not only stranger than fiction, but also more interesting”. – With large Index. – A very good copy.
