Kaliostro - Morozova E.

Mason, the prophet and the caller of spirits, this Sicilian, whose real name is Giuseppe Balsamo, possessed truly inexhaustible ingenuity and extraordinary hypnotic abilities, which allowed him to freeze the head of almost all enlightened Europe. But, believing in his star, Cagliostro did not notice how he became a bargaining chip in the political games of the powerful of this world, frightened by the French Revolution. The lush trail of rumors that accompanied every step of Cagliostro, already in his lifetime turned him into a mysterious personality, which became an inexhaustible source of inspiration for writers, poets, mystics and occultists. In this book, based on extensive documentary material, Balsamo-Caliostro is represented by a man of his time, not only talentedly exploiting eternal human passions, but also able to catch the spiritual searches of his own Contemporaries. And to believe or not to believe in the immortality of the divine sorcerer Kaliostro is the matter of the reader himself...
