About This Book

Il saggio esamina le affermazioni spiritiche e il contrasto tra credenti e scettici. Presenta esempi che vanno da medium apparentemente sinceri e dalle loro produzioni in trance a imbonitori confessati e artifici scenici. Pesa spiegazioni psicologiche e patologiche contro le testimonianze di osservatori cauti, sostenendo che, escluse malattia e inganno, alcuni fenomeni restano difficili da respingere. Intercalato da riflessioni personali e vivide descrizioni campestri, invita a un'indagine aperta, misurata e scientifica sulle presunte comunicazioni coi defunti.
