Beschreibung
Scientology presents itself as a scientific approach to spiritual enlightenment, yet its operations have long been shrouded in mystery. Lawrence Wright offers readers a penetrating and profound insight into the world of Scientology, built on more than two hundred personal interviews with current and former Scientologists, both famous and lesser-known figures, and years of archival study. With his extraordinary investigative talent, the author uncovers the internal system and principles of the Church of Scientology. The book reveals the complex Scientology cosmology and its peculiar language, uncovers the paths through which celebrities like Tom Cruise or John Travolta enter the church, as well as how these celebrities work within the church for its goals, and introduces young enthusiasts who join the church's clergy, the Sea Organization, and sign contracts for a billion years. The documentary film based on this book for HBO is the most-watched documentary in its entire history.
