The Book Of Lies (1896)

By Frank Ver Beck and John Langdon Heaton

Book Overview

The Book of Lies is a philosophical and mystical treatise written by British author John Langdon Heaton and first published in 1896. The book is divided into chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of truth, falsehood, and the nature of reality.Heaton's writing is heavily influenced by the esoteric traditions of the late 19th century, particularly the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient mythology, Kabbalah, and alchemy, to create a complex and often cryptic text that challenges readers to question their assumptions about the world.The Book of Lies is structured as a series of aphorisms and paradoxes, each designed to shake the reader out of their complacency and encourage them to think more deeply about the nature of truth. The book is often considered a work of occult literature, and its themes and ideas have been influential in the development of modern esoteric thought.Overall, The Book of Lies is a challenging and thought-provoking work that will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy, mysticism, or the occult. Its complex ideas and dense prose require careful reading and contemplation, but the rewards for those who persevere are profound and transformative.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
