Aleister Crowley was born 12 October 1875. He was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, painter, novelist, and mountaineer. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. A prolific writer, he published widely over the course of his life. Born to a wealthy family in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, Crowley rejected his parents’ fundamentalist Christian faith to pursue an interest in Western esotericism. He was educated at Trinity College at the University of Cambridge, where he focused his attentions on mountaineering and poetry. Some biographers allege that here he was recruited into a British intelligence agency, further suggesting that he remained a spy throughout his life. In 1898 he joined the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

What popular musician and composer has given more to the world than the late great George Harrison? Not only was he foundational to the Beatles’ greatest music, but he was also an inspired solo performer, philosopher, advocate of Indian religion, Hare Krishna, and arguably, the grandfather of world music. People everywhere could sense the basic honesty, decency, and true compassion of this amazing artist and man. Ask almost anyone who their favorite Beatle is and they will tell you – more often than not – George Harrison. In this riveting, one-of-a-kind audiobook revelation by popular actor author narrator Geoffrey Giuliano, you will find the man behind the music, and further understand the music behind the man. While George Harrison left us far too soon, his work will live forever.

While the Beatles conquered the world, and therefore enjoyed the spoils of their conquest, they ultimately came to a rather acrimonious end.

Perfect for fans, collectors, and educational institutions.
