About the book: 2008 / The history of the sacred orders - the Templars, the Assassins, the Rosicrucians - is impossible to write. And it’s not just the scarcity of sources, it’s the incomprehensibility and mystery of this kind of association. The religious, political, and moral principles of such orders are a sealed secret; their goals are absolutely incomprehensible. Therefore, books on this topic depend entirely on the historical horizon, ingenuity, and wit of a particular author. The work of Louis Charpentier makes a favorable impression. The author is characterized by original conclusions, bold hypotheses, mastery in creating reality - legends. If he failed to dispel the historical fog, he colored this fog with unexpected color, dizzying interest, tense questions. http://fb2.traumlibrary.net
