Victor Hugo's Conversations with the Spirit World: A Literary Genius's Hidden Life

An excellent historical compilation of Victor Hugo's life and his participation in seances. I've wondered how seances are conducted and this book gives descriptions from the transcriptions of his process. I love the book. Informative, historical, and educational.

For this reader, it is written in an unclear manner. The actual ghostly revelations are packed in with what seems to be a lot of filler. My copy i will definitely resell.

This is a reprint with too much garble from the original losing its deepest spiritual message & so badly misinterpreted.

It doesn't dwell on loong boring descriptions of the period and scenery like most books would. In fact, gives enough detail of the period to paint the picture, then cuts to the meat of the subject matter. Some of the passages got pretty deep, and honestly, some I did not fully understand like the phlisopy and so forth of death and reincarnation. These passages only went for a few pages so it was ok. This book also includes some of the actual drawings made by the tables.Compelling and mezmerizing.........and at times frightening...there is a section about howling dogs wich just gave me goose bumps.

Load of unsubstantiated rubbish. Its one thing being asked by the author to be open minded, I think his book is for the feeble minded!

A fascinating insight into a unique period in the life of a most unusual man. Full of original texts but also highly readable.
