When two "grave and serious" spirits began speaking to a French
academic through two young mediums and "completely revolutionized
his] ideas and convictions," Allan Kardec decided to set down these
spiritualistic revelations. The result electrified the high society
of the mid 19th century, which was already fascinated by "spirit
tapping" and other paranormalities, and earned Kardec-a pseudonym
his spirits commanded him to use-a place in this history of the
paranormal as the father of spiritism. Kardec "interviews" the
spirits, asking more than 1000 questions about morality, the nature
of the soul, the history of humanity, and more, including: . "Is
the soul reincarnated immediately after its separation from the
body?" . "Does the spirit remember his corporeal existence?" .
"Could two beings, who have already known and loved each other,
meet again and recognise one another, in another corporeal
existence?" . "What is to be thought of the signification
attributed to dreams?" . "Are good and evil absolute for all men?"
. "What is the aim of God in visiting mankind with destructive
calamities?" . "Is it possible for man to enjoy perfect happiness
upon the earth?" Promising nothing less than the secret of the
destiny of the human race, this extraordinary book, first published
in 1856, is as curious today as it was a century and a half ago.
French scholar HIPPOLYTE LEON DENIZARD RIVAIL (1804-1869), aka
Allan Kardec, was a longtime teacher of mathematics, astronomy, and
other scientific disciplines before turning to the paranormal.
