The Mystery of Numbers
Which number is feminine and which is masculine? Why do the cycles of the moon affect us so much? Does our luck always depend on the numbers we choose? Is it necessary to understand 1 to understand creation, or 2 to understand the universe? In this book, Annemarie Schimmel tells the stories of how numbers have preserved their meaning in every corner of our lives for thousands of years, and how they appear in different beliefs, cultures and geographies, sometimes as a superstition, sometimes as a religious ritual, and sometimes as a line of poetry. Suddenly you will learn how everything is secretly connected to everything else.
“An exquisite intercultural journey in the mysterious history of numbers. "When you finish this wonderful research, you will not only feel like you are on the seventh floor of the sky, you will also understand why you are there."
-The New York Times-
