If you try hard enough, each of these prophecies" is mere hallucination. How people could be stupid enough to believe them is beyond me." ( )

Nostradamus wrote such enigmatic quatrains that it's anyone's guess what he meant. Then throw in a translator and who knows what he said? If you like to discover meaning in what could be meaningless, read this book. ( )

I think the predictions are silly, and the interpretations far-fetched; but some of the quatrains are spooky. So as a horror afficionado I enjoyed it! ( )

Médecin et astrologue de Catherine de Médicis, Nostradamus mourut au jour et à l’heure qu’il avait indiqués, en 1566. Historien, homme de sciences, poète et prophète, il eut la vision de centaines d’évènements déterminants de l’Histoire. De la Révolution française à la Grande Guerre, de l’avènement de Napoléon à la prise du pouvoir par Hitler, de la destruction de Hiroshima à la guerre du Golfe, des guerres de religions aux récentes attaques terroristes : toutes ces visions sont décrites, en termes fort précis, au long des quatrains qui composent les dix Centuries.

An odd, slim, little hardback volume. The title uses an incorrect word, "prophesies," and there is no editor, i.e. translator and annotator, indicated. There are creepy new agey illustrations. There is a brief biographical sketch, the complete translated texts of the Preface and Epistle, and a selection of prophecies from all ten centuries. The prophecies are in translation, the original is not given, and underneath each is a curt explanation in brackets. "The death of Franklin Roosevelt" for Q1.100, or "Leoni sees discovery of an ancient temple" for Q8.5. Hardly a great exegetical work! Still, it serves as a sort of index for the major interpretations of Roberts, Leoni, and the like, and a "greatest hits" of the prophecies. Mainly this is a primer, and, even though odd and dated, it is still better than the books by Mario Reading (or, for that matter, more truthful than those of Dolores Cannon). ( )
