Sheds new light on identity of the alchemist Fulcanelli.
Fulcanelli, operative alchemist and author of "The Mystery Of The
Cathedrals" and "The Dwellings Of The Philosophers" - two of most
important esoteric works of the twentieth century - remains himself
a mystery. The true identity of the man who allegedly succeeded in
creating the philosopher's stone has never been discovered, despite
ardent searches by many - even the OSS (the wartime US intelligence
agency, later to become the CIA) claimed to have looked for him
following the end of World War II. Genevieve Dubois looks at the
esoteric milieu of Paris at the turn of the century, a time that
witnessed a great revival of the alchemical tradition and
investigates some of its salient personalities. Could one of these
have been this enigmatic man, reported to have last appeared in
Seville, Spain, in 1952 when he would have been 113 years old? The
trail followed by the author encounters such figures as Papus, Rene
Guenon, Schwaller de Lubicz, Pierre Dujols, Eugene Canseliet and
Jean-Julian Champagne. Working from rare documents, letters and
photos, Dubois suggests that one of these men could have been
hiding his activity behind the pseudonym of Fulcanelli or that
Fulcanelli may even have been a composite fabricated by several of
these individuals working together. Beyond its attempt to reveal
the actual identity of Fulcanelli, "Fulcanelli And The Alchemical
Revival", also, presents an explanation of the alchemical doctrine
and reveals the unsuspected relationships among the important
twentieth-century truth seekers it highlights.
