Book Description

From the Publisher
From the Back Cover
Swiss professor THEODORE FLOURNOY (1854-1920) wrote a number of books on spiritism, but he is best remembered for this curious work, a study of Hélène Smith of Geneva, an "honorable woman... wholly incapable of conscious fraud" who claimed to channel her past lives, including one as Marie Antoinette, and to communicate through paranormal mediumship with people she knew in those past lives, such as "Leopold," who was madly in love with the French monarch, as well as more distant people in the here and now, like the inhabitants of the planet Mars.
Completely credulous, even as Flournoy acknowledges that Smith's "trances" became more frequent and detailed as soon as he, the famous spiritualist, became involved, Flournoy's is a fascinating novelty, one that will be appreciated by readers of the supernatural as well as fans of 19th century fads.
