The Occult by Colin Wilson

The Occult by Colin Wilson

Colin Wilson's great classic work is a comprehensive history of mystery and magic. His genius lies in producing a skilful synthesis of the available material; clarifying without simplifying, seeing the occult in the light of reason and reason in the light of the mystical and paranormal. It is a journey of enlightenment – a wide-ranging survey of the whole subject and an insightful exploration of Man's latent powers. Republished two years after the author's death and with a new foreword by bibliographer Colin Stanley, Wilson brings his own refreshingly optimistic and stimulating interpretation to the worlds of the paranormal, the occult and the supernatural. The Occult is the most interesting, informative and thought-provoking book on the subject I have read Sunday Telegraph

"The Occult is the most interesting, informative, and thought-provoking book on the subject I have read"Arthur Calder-Marshall, Sunday Telegraph;"I am very impressed by this book, not only by its erudition but by the marshalling of it, and above all the good-natured, unaffected charm of the author whose reasoning is never too far-fetched, who is never carried away by preposterous theories."Cyril Connolly, Sunday Times

Colin Wilson was a highly respected and erudite writer. He wrote many books, both fiction and non-fiction, on subjects such as the paranormal, the supernatural and philosophy, including The Outsider and Mysteries. This book is regarded by some as his "tour de force".
