Nostradamus, Messing, Vanga - these names are known to millions of people, because their owners had a gift that always aroused the admiration and fear of others. They were clairvoyants and soothsayers: they read thoughts, found lost things and could even predict the future. Their gift - mysterious and inexplicable - as a rule, did not bring them happiness, but many of them tried to use it for good. Such people lived at all times and in all corners of the earth: Epimenides in Ancient Greece, Sibyls in Ancient Rome, Sergius of Radonezh in Rus', Nero Regnault in medieval France, John Dee in England during the time of Elizabeth I, Lenormand in Napoleonic France. The 20th century was no less rich in clairvoyants: Ossovetsky and Leva Fedotov, Evangelina Adams and Vladimir Safonov. There are such people among those living today. This book talks about such extraordinary people - clairvoyants and soothsayers.
