Conversations of John Dee with Angels: Kabbalah, Alchemy, and the Twilight of Nature

John Dee is rightly considered one of the key figures of the Western esoteric tradition. Songs are written about his life, movies are made, novels are created, and based on his diaries one of the most popular esoteric systems - Enochian magic - was developed. Who exactly was John Dee? In what historical and cultural context did his spiritual quests take place? What was his path?

Deborah Harkness's book is the first in the Russian-speaking space dedicated to the personality of this great scholar and magician. Unlike most works, the author relies only on verified and rigorous information, so the book will be of interest not only to followers of the esoteric tradition but also to professional religion scholars, historians, and anthropologists.
