yeah wild story, surprised Netflix hasn't done it yet. I've got his book on my shelf too I will start one day, The Rose Of Paracelsus: On Secrets & Sacraments

It’s a very, very hard read. His vocabulary is insane. I had to look up so many words. Very rewarding to make it to the end though.

What kind of a book is it, genre-wise? Was it interesting? I'm deciding if I should read it someday or not

My understanding is that it’s a loose autobiography.

I read through two thirds of it during Covid. I think it’s has an unfair reputation of being a challenging read; yes you’ll encounter new vocabulary, but the narrative itself is really interesting and clear.

Thanks. I'll check it out
