Produktbeschreibung
The 52 cards with their Hearts, Spades, Clubs and Diamonds are the most widespread signs on Earth. On all seven continents, they are familiar to everyone. But how well do we know them? Following a startling discovery, Howard Crowhurst, investigated the origins and perpetrators of this global success story. Along the way, his purpose changes as a mysterious world gradually opens up to him. He discovered that behind the cards playful facade lies a deeper meaning that seems to go back to the dawn of time. This organization of shapes, suits, colors and numbers, which includes the Jack / Queen / King trinity, the decimal system and the infamous number 13, reveals the foundations of an ancient knowledge, as simple as it is rich. Even music and astronomy find their expression. The cards are a small book of 52 pages written in a universal language; 52 pages that can be read in any order, but whose true meaning has yet to be revealed.
