Masons. How free masons formed a modern world. Dicky J.

The history of Freemasonry is inextricably linked with many outstanding personalities, including Winston Churchill and Walt Disney, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Shakil O'Leill, Benjamin Franklin and Bazz Oldrin, Giuseppe Garibaldi and Arthur Konan Doyle, Henry Ford, Rediad Kipling And Buffalo Bill. Founded in London in London as a union around ideals that form the character, Freemasonry has spread around the world in two decades. Under George Washington, it created the worldview of the American nation; Masonic networks fastened the British empire; Under Napoleon, the Masonic lodges turned into an instrument of authoritarianism, and then into covering a revolutionary conspiracy. The Mormon Church and the Sicilian mafia owe their origin to Freemasonry. Today in the UK there are 400 thousand Masons, there are more than a million in the United States, and around six million around the world. The book of Professor John Dicky is a fascinating study of the current, which not only participated in the formation of modern society, but also has a significant impact.

“Thinking this book, I wanted to reflect the whole variety of human experiences related to Freemasonry, which cannot be found either in the stories of the Masons themselves, nor that their ill -wishers and persecutors write. I tried not to reduce him to a set of features and patterns, so I decided to present some geographical places and eras that were especially significant for the history of the brotherhood. The investigation we have very difficult, but also extremely interesting. Myths and delusions have been weighed into the fabric of the history of Freemasonry and is already inseparable from it. In the very center of it lies a priesthood that begins at the entrance to the temple and unfolds outside time and space. ” (John Dicky)
