설명

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, France became a hotbed for the exploration of the supernatural, intertwining spirituality with radical shifts in thought. Robert Ziegler's work delves into the rich tapestry of Satanism, magic, and mysticism that characterized this intriguing period. Through an interdisciplinary lens, he examines how these phenomena reflected societal tensions and transformations during a time marked by both turmoil and enlightenment.

Ziegler meticulously tracks the interplay between cultural movements and occult practices, revealing how figures from various backgrounds embraced mystical traditions as they sought meaning amidst an era of rapid industrialization and philosophical questioning. From literary icons to clandestine societies, the book offers insights into the motivations and implications of their engagement with the otherworldly, illuminating how those pursuits shaped artistic and intellectual currents.

As Ziegler articulates the complexities of this period, he unpacks the duality of fascination and fear that held sway over the French psyche, suggesting that the allure of the occult was both a desperate grasp for transcendent understanding and a rebellion against the prevailing rationalism. His exploration invites readers to reconsider the intersections of belief, power, and identity during a transformative chapter in history.
