The Unknown Guest by Maeterlinck, Maurice - 2005

New York, New York: Cosimo Classics, 2005. Book. Very Good. Soft cover. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. The book is in very good, if not nearly pristine condition, if ever read before it was done very gently, the book is clean and clear throughout, very minor shelf rubbing. 'The first is now published and is a brief study of veridical apparitions and hallucinations and haunted houses, or, if you will, the phantasms of the living and the dead; of those manifestations which have been oddly and not very appropriately described as "psychometric"; of the knowledge of the future: presentiments, omens, premonitions, precognitions, and the rest; and lastly of the Elberfeld horses. In the second, which will be published later, I shall treat of the miracles of Lourdes and other places, the phenomena of so called materialization, of the divining-rod and of fluidic asepsis, not unmindful withal of a diamond dust of the miraculous that hangs over the greater marvels in that strange atmosphere into which we are about to pass. ~ Excerpt from the Introduction' 5.5 x 8.5 inches. 205 pages..
