Spiritist Journey in 1862

Synopsis

When Allan Kardec set out for his historical journey of 1862 not even he could have foreseen the immense growth Spiritism would undergo in France after its introduction with the publication of The Spirits’ Book in Paris just five years before. In a time when there was neither radio nor any other means of mass communication except for the printed word, his achievements were remarkable for the standards of the time. Offering some rare glimpses into the Codifier’s way of thinking, this book covers some practical aspects of the nascent Spiritism while keenly narrating its quiet triumph against formidable odds and opposition.
