Beschreibung

Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin was a French watchmaker, magician, and illusionist, who transformed magic from a pastime for the lower classes, seen at fairs, to entertainment for the wealthy, which he offered in a theatre opened in Paris. The author of this book, an American magician Harry Houdini (born Ehrich Weiss), was so impressed by Robert-Houdin that he adopted the stage name of "Houdini" in his honor. Yet later, Houdini lost his youthful respect for Robert-Houdin, believing that he took undue credit for other magicians' innovations. This book is his attempt to unearth the truth behind the fame of the French magician.

Giving up cannibalism for Lent uncovered a nation of hospitable, humble people with a deep connection to the environment.

Here they are, two decades later, revealing the events that changed him forever. Step back in time and share the surprise he felt each time God released divine love within beautiful people.

    In the Shadow of Enlightenment is the gripping story of Carroll’s childhood inside the Osho Rajneesh cult—one of the most controversial spiritual movements of the 20th century. While in the commune, Sarito was submerged in a world where devotion and freedom clashed with manipulation, sexual misconduct, and neglect. This was the life she knew until the movement collapsed amid scandal and criminal charges in 1985, when sixteen-year-old Sarito was thrust into a society she knew little about. 
    Now, decades later, after battling shame, fear, and self-doubt, Sarito breaks her silence to expose the abuse, exploitation, and disillusionment she endured in the Rajneesh community. She stands up against this formidable spiritual institution that promised liberation while concealing dark secrets behind its facade of love and joy. With raw honesty and heart-wrenching clarity, she recounts her fight to reclaim her identity, confront the community’s betrayal, and heal on her own terms. It is a powerful story of survival, resilience, courage, and hard-won freedom. 
    In the Shadow of Enlightenment is a profoundly moving exposé about the hidden dangers lurking behind charismatic leaders and spiritual movements. It will inspire and challenge you to question where you place your trust.
