This book is the most anticipated publishing event in human history Written down from angelic inspiration in A.D. 54 by Joseph of Arimathea, the earthly father of Jesus, The Book of the Holy Grail has been an unpublished manuscript for 1945 years. Revealed only in shattered pieces by an outlawed royal lineage protected by the world's most successful conspiracy, its secrets have influenced all of modern human history, from the rise of Christianity to the founding of the United States.

It reveals the origins of the universe, the sources of good and evil, and the purpose of human life. Its authenticity can be validated mathematically in American English, independent of its original language or historical documents.

It was first translated into English by Thomas Jefferson author of the Declaration of Independence, and himself a Grand Master, the Strict Observance -- Knights Templar, The United Orders of the American Rite.

This is the Bible of Gnostic Christianity, the original source for the legends of the Holy Grail, of Freemasonry, even of the Mormon Church. Its text contains the most attacked and suppressed alternative gospel of the life of Jesus. It disputes the accounts in the traditionally accepted gospels regarding what Jesus' mission was on Earth, what Jesus taught, and how Jesus died.

It has been waiting for the turn of the third millennium, and authority from prophecies made 146 years ago, for it finally to be published.

Forget The Passover Plot, The Gnostic Gospels, The Celestine Prophecy, or Conversations With God. If you're looking for the New Age book which was planned for publication before time itself began, you've been waiting for The Book of the HolyGrail.

Whatever you believe, it is time that this book surfaces into the public consciousness, so it can finally stand alongside the other great books of human faith and human history..

Written in the 15th century by the Bohemian humanist and writer Johannes Von Saaz, Death and the Ploughman is a tragic dialogue between Death and a recently widowed farmer. Here, it is dramatized by the acclaimed translator Michael West as an adversarial duel where the farmer's defense of mankind is as strong as Death's ruthless prosecution of his own cause.

"Quite extraordinary ... This translation is an eloquent one, filled with jeweled words and edged debate, a tribute to the original author, and a serious achievement by his successor."-Irish Times

"Immensely personal, manifestly skeptical of received religious wisdom, and utterly fascinating, a Drer engraving given audible life."-Sunday Independent

Death and the Ploughmanwas published to tie in with its production at the Gate Theatre, London, in October 2002.
