Review: Eliphas Lévi And The French Occult Revival

User Review  - Michael Snuffin - Goodreads

I enjoyed this book so much that I started rereading it when I finished! I have the other two biographies of Levi, and neither of them match McIntosh in terms of content or clarity--and they both need an editor. Highly recommended. Read full review
