دانلود کتاب THE GREAT BEAST: The Life of Aleister Crowley

"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."

'Was Crowley mad? Was he just a super-
confidence trickster? Was he just a de-
bauchee who found an easy trick for
hypnotizing women? He was all these--
and something more. He spent his own
fortune on his weird beliefs. What makes
him interesting is not that he himself was
a freak; it is the influence he was able
to exert on so many people of education
and social standing.'
--Reynolds News
