Count de Saint-Germain was certainly the greatest Oriental Adept Europe has seen in last centuries of the last millennium. He never laid claim to spiritual powers, but proved to have a right to such claim. He was a pupil of Indian and Egyptian hierophants, and proficient in the secret wisdom and arts of the East. Saint-Germain is, until this very time, a living mystery. And the Rosicrucian Thomas Vaughan, another one. Together with Mesmer, he belonged to the Lodge of the Philalethes. Like all great men, the Count was slandered and lied about. Saint-Germain was a “fifth rounder,” a rare case of abnormally precocious individual evolution. He was sent by Louis XV to England, in 1760, to negotiate peace between the two countries. Before and during the French Revolution, the Count puzzled and almost terrified every capital of Europe, and some crowned Heads. Saint-Germain predicted in every detail the social and political upheaval in France that lasted from 1789 until 1799. In fact, it was he who brought about the just outbreak among the paupers, and put an end to the selfish tyranny of the French kings. The Count’s temperamental affinity to the celestial science forced the Himalayan Adepts to come into personal relations with him. When True Magic has finally died out in Europe, Saint-Germain and Cagliostro, sought refuge from the frozen-hearted scepticism in their native land of the East.

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY • ONE OF ESQUIRE’S BEST BIOGRAPHIES OF ALL TIME General Alex Dumas is a man almost unknown today, yet his story is strikingly familiar—because his son, the novelist Alexandre Dumas, used his larger-than-life feats as inspiration for such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. But, hidden behind General Dumas's swashbuckling adventures was an even more incredible secret: he was the son of a black slave—who rose higher in the white world than any man of his race would before our own time. Born in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), Alex Dumas made his way to Paris, where he rose to command armies at the height of the Revolution—until he met an implacable enemy he could not defeat. The Black Count is simultaneously a riveting adventure story, a lushly textured evocation of 18th-century France, and a window into the modern world’s first multi-racial society. TIME magazine called The Black Count "one of those quintessentially human stories of strength and courage that sheds light on the historical moment that made it possible." But it is also a heartbreaking story of the enduring bonds of love between a father and son.
