By rigorously adhering to Nostradamus�s own index dates, and carefully deciphering the codes, hidden meanings, and wordplay concealed within the medieval texts, Mario Reading forever altered our understanding of the seer�s writings. He now follows up his first astute analysis of Nostradamus�s complete prophecies with another truly original take on the prophet�s predictions. And this time, Reading sweeps away the forecasts of doom to shine a fresh and optimistic light on the future: his insights suggest the possibility of positive change in the world, not its destruction. These �Good News� quatrains cover most European countries, as well as America, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Among the predictions: that a leader will arise in Africa who will act as an agent of renewal and restoration; that after the passing of a terrible epidemic, peace will be restored for years to come; and that a beneficial new world order will emerge thanks to a fundamental change in the perception of democracy.
