SEVEN ORDEALS OF COUNT CAGLIOSTRO
Biography of the eighteenth century quack, charlatan
and murderer who was to the French Revolution
what Rasputin was to the Russian.
Moving through
the period between the Age of Enlightenment and
the French Revolution - a time when reason and
superstition co-mingled in the minds of even the
best educated - Cagliostro earned a reputation
for dazzling kings, feeding the poor, healing
the ill and, most conspicuously, relieving the
careless rich of their money.
He tangled with
most of the major figures in Europe at that time,
including Cassanova, Mozart, Goethe and Catherine
the Great.
