The truth about the life of Aleister Crowley, who inspired creative minds such as The Beatles, Ozzy Osborne, L. Ron Hubbard and Marilyn Manson, is clouded by the myths and rumors that people have perpetuated since his death. While undoubtedly a notorious figure, many of the roles Crowley fulfilled are often ignored in favor of his title of “the wickedest man in the world.” In Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley, author Richard Kaczynski draws on his more than 20 years of research to expose the truth about the legendary prophet, poet, adventurer and founder of modern magick. Perdurabo is set to become the definitive biography on Crowley, and includes previously unpublished biographical details and photographs in the new edition. Don’t believe me? Check out these stellar reviews for Perdurabo:
“Several recently-published biographies of Crowley do justice, for the most part, to his life and works. But their offerings now stand like skeletal frames of unfinished houses next to Kaczynski’s magnificently constructed edifice. Every brick is set in place with the mortar of meticulous research and insight. Thank you, Dr. Kaczynski. I’ve waited thirty-five years for this.”
–Lon Milo DuQuette, author of The Magick of Aleister Crowley
“Aleister Crowley–what a man. I’ve read several Crowley biographies, and this one takes the prize for most enjoyable and intimate. Mr. Kaczynski has the personal understanding and experience necessary to paint an accurate portrait of Crowley, with all the exciting context in place. Mr. Kaczynski’s passion for his subject makes for an informative and potentially life-changing read. Why wade on the shores of such a vast man, when you can dive in? I think Crowley himself would have welcomed such a loving penetration.”
–Andrew W.K., musician
“If you’re a collector of Crowley biographies, this is an essential addition to your collection. If you can only afford one Crowley biography, this is the one to get.”
–Invisible Basilica
“Dr. Kaczynski has been able to uncover a host of previously unexplored sources which cast new light on Crowley’s life and works. Some are presented here for the first time in this revised edition. It is an achievement that deserves praise and I am sure the book . . . will be used by scholars and students for many years to come as an indispensable reference work.”
–Dr. Marco Pasi, author of Aleister Crowley and the Temptation of Politics
