Description
In The Little Religions of Paris French author, journalist, and playwright Jules Bois briefly examines some of the lesser-known religious sects percolating in the environs of fin-de-siècle Paris. Originally published in 1894, this work surveys such movements as the Theosophists, the Buddhists, the Swedenborgians, and of course the Gnostics. Even included herein are the Humanist cult of sociology pioneer Auguste Comte, and the later-discredited Palladian conspiracy of Leo Taxil, as well as several other interesting groups. This small volume provides an important snapshot of religious thought in the belle époque.
