In a world of sexy book porn, today we\u2019re looking at some of the sexiest of sexy, \u201cThe Bavarian Illuminati: The Rise and Fall of the World\u2019s Most Secret Society\u201d by Rene Le Forestier and translated by Jon E. Graham. This is 912 pages of pulse pounding intrigue and yawn inducing bureaucracy that was originally published in 1915 and hasn\u2019t been available in English until now. Until now!<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ Inner Traditions spared no expense in bringing \u201cThe Bavarian Illuminati\u201d to English speaking audiences. The text is presented in hard cover, with a built-in ribbon bookmark. This book is informative, but could also be brandished as a weapon if necessary. But enough foreplay, let\u2019s get into it.<\/p>\n

Le Forestier utilized as much primary source material in researching this book as he could find. Bavarian academic Adam Weishaupt founded the short-lived Bavarian Order of the Illuminati in 1776, mainly as a reaction to the Jesuit stranglehold on education in Bavaria at the time and his disappointment in his attempts to join the Freemasons. An intelligent, but vain individual, Weishaupt\u2019s grand design would have floundered and died quickly, but fortunately for him, Adolph, Baron von Knigge came along and helped organize the Illuminati first by applying his Freemason knowledge to the order and then creating the strategy of taking over Freemasonry from the inside out. Even with this, the order didn\u2019t quite last 10 years.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ Yet the idea of the Illuminati and their efforts to sabotage the Church and subvert the German Freemasons planted seeds that still bear fruit today of a global organization with its tendrils in everything from the government to the stock market. In reading \u201cThe Bavarian Illuminati\u201d Le Forestier clearly presents the flaw in this conspiracy in the fact that the Weishaupt\u2019s Illuminati couldn\u2019t keep itself secret for a decade, let alone imagining this bickering hive of egos could keep a secret for hundreds of years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bavarian Illuminati\u201d by Rene Le Forestier is not an inexpensive book. However, if you\u2019re looking for a deep dive into the origins of the infamous Bavarian Illuminati and the assorted other secret societies of the era, this would be money well spent.<\/p>\n
