The German edition is brilliant. If you are a fan of the Italian, you will find a more concise translation in German than the English edition.The book weaves the tale of a conspiracy theory involving the Knights Templar & other occult groups from ancient to modern times.The book deals with concepts such as telluric/tellurisch currents, Agartta, the French Grael/Grail cycle, Fetishism/Idolatry, Voodoo, Gnosticism/Occultism, et al.The tale is not merely a fiction piece, but belongs in a genre all its own: primarily interested in presenting the reader with a bevvy of semiotic imagery and intellectual stimulation.A must-read for students of semiotics, or those interested in Occult speculation.
