Di Arthur Conan Doyle

3/5

()

Leggi anteprima

Info su questo ebook

The renowned mystery author presents a comprehensive treatise on ghosts, séances, and psychic phenomena through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
 
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, the fictional detective who solved perplexing crimes with strict rationalism. But later in life, Doyle became fascinated by mysteries that defied rational explanation. A major proponent of spiritualism, he conducted numerous paranormal investigations and in 1926 published this definitive history of the movement.
 
The History of Spiritualism begins with the early roots of spiritualist thought found in the writings of Swedish theologian Emanuel Swedenborg. Doyle then offers in-depth accounts of the movement’s major figures in the United Kingdom and America, including Edward Irving, Andrew Jackson Davis, and the Fox Sisters, among many others.

Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) practiced medicine in the resort town of Southsea, England, and wrote stories while waiting for his patients to arrive. In 1886, he created two of the greatest fictional characters of all time: the detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner, Dr. Watson. Over the course of four novels and fifty-six short stories, Conan Doyle set a standard for crime fiction that has yet to be surpassed.
