A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This fascinating title offers a detailed yet accessible history of the Freemasons and their spread around the globe - the real story behind one of the most controversial secret societies the world has ever known. The Freemasons have been called an international underground conspiracy, a cabal that can manipulate currencies and bring down the government. Yet many people see another side to Masonry, namely a harmless gathering of ordinary citizens coming together for evenings devoted to organizing good works. In turn analysed, revered and even ridiculed through its long history, Freemasonry has not just survived but prospered. This book puts the ancient organization under the microscope, revealing the myths behind the mystery and the significance of masonry in modern times. From the historical beginnings of the brotherhood and a look at its symbols and rituals to the impact Freemasons have had on science, art and history, this beautiful volume offers a comprehensive celebration of Freemasonry - to Masons themselves, or readers interested in the rich history of this ancient organisation.
