WHISPERERS: THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE SPIRIT WORLD
Book ID/图书代码: 04300013B64709
English Summary/英文概要: Is it possible that major world events are affected by spirits even if one doesnt believe in them? Can it be that everything from decisions about peace and war to the food we eat and the gods we pray to may have roots in the disembodied voices whispering in the ears of popes and prophets, politicians and prime ministers, dictators and kings? It may seem incredible, but as J. H. Brennan reveals in this eye-opening new history, there is a wealth of evidence to suggest that such whisperings are not only possible, but that they have occurred again and again, subtly directing the course of human events.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 世界上所发生的重大事件是否有可能是受到人类精神世界,也就是所谓的灵界的影响--即使你对这些虚无的所谓精神层面的东西不置可否?而这些东西却能左右着一切的人类的活动,从战争到和平,乃至我们日常的食物,以及我们对上帝的祈祷可能来源于教皇、先知、政客和首相、独裁者和国王间那虚幻的耳语中?这些看似也许难以置信的东西,在本书的作者J .H. Brennan的笔下,为我们揭示了这一令人大开眼界的全新历史一幕,有大量的证据表明这样的低声耳语不仅可能存在,而且更为机缘巧合地不断上演,微妙地影响着人类历史的进程。
在《低声耳语》这本书中,畅销小说家和神秘学专家J. H. Brennan探索了人类的“灵界”--不论您是否对这个东西相信与否—但自人类文明开创始,它便一直影响着我们。依靠小说家的天赋和学者的敏锐嗅觉,Brennan详述了超自然是如何让世界领导人诚服的,从尼布甲尼撒二世(古巴比伦王)Nebuchadnezzar到纳粹领袖阿道夫•希特勒(Adolf Hitler),书中详细阐述了这些人的每一项重要决定和政策是如何被超自然的信仰和机缘下所造成的。Brennan同时还考察了幻觉对人类的影响,从本土文化中的萨满教,到诸如圣女贞德的预言。书中记载着人类千年以来沉醉在灵界的沟通过程,《低声耳语》以一种完全不同的全新方式来看待人类这一历史。(Sandy)
