Tajna društva su u ovom ili onom obliku postojala kroz čitavu istoriju ljudskog društva. Ali u čemu je njihova privlačnost? Šta je to što privlači takozvane ugledne ljude da učestvuju u neobičnim ceremonijama, i, obučeni u živopisne kostime, polažu zakletve da neće odati tajne društva kome pristupaju čak ni pod pretnjom smrću? Nik Harding celovito i objektivno prikazuje ova društva i njihove specifičnosti. U knjizi su prikazana između ostalog i sledeća društva: • Asasini (hašašini) • Bilderberška grupa • Boemski gaj • Čudna bratija • Društvo Džona Birča • Društvo trgovaca preduzetnika • Garduna • Gnostici • Iluminati • Karbonari • Katari • Kju Kluks klan • Klub paklenog ognja • Kraljevski perpotopski red bizona • Kult Abramelina • Kult crne majke • Kult Mitre • Lobanja i kosti • Mafija • Malteški vitezovi • Masoni • Odabrani od Jupitera Gromovnika • Oltarci • Opus dei • Ordini • P2 • Red anđela pauna • Red himalajskih učitelja • Rozenkrojceri • Ruski kastratori • Sionski priorat • Sufiji • Sveti vem • Tagovi • Trijade • Visoko sveštenstvo Tebe • Vitezovi svetog Kolomba • Vitezovi templari • Zlatna zora
Secret Societies in one form or another have existed throughout the history of human culture. But what is their appeal? What is it that makes so-called respectable people indulge in peculiar ceremonies, dressed in fanciful costumes uttering blood-curdling oaths of loyalty with the threat of death hanging over them should they reveal the inner workings of the cult? Nick Harding describes some of the best known organisations along with their least known counterparts. He highlights the similarities that these cults have and the basic human psychology upon which they operate. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

However, I find that that author has a tendency to just write things as they come to his head rather than in a coherent way of reading.
He also is not shy about putting his personal views about some of the societies. It isn't that I don't agree with him but he choices a few societies and just rips into them which I find very distracting.
Decent overall read and a good source to get very basic and ground level info on societies from throughout history. (
