(P/B) THE BOOK OF THE DAMNED

Παρουσίαση

Welcome to a record of the damned. "By the damned," wrote Charles Fort, "I mean the excluded. We shall have a procession of data that Science has excluded."
This volume presents Fort's complete procession: four landmark books that reinvented our understanding of the paranormal. Like no one else of his time, Fort was a genius at assembling records of bizarre, haunting, strange, and inexplicable anomalies for which science could not account. In these pages, there appear visitors from space, monsters, poltergeists, and floating islands. Frogs fall from the sky. Mysterious airships take flight in an age before the airplane. People disappear, reappear, and spontaneously combust.
The full range of Fort's investigations is presented unabridged, with a complete subject index, and a new introduction by Fort biographer Jim Steinmeyer. (From the publisher)

"To me no one in the world has suggested the underlying depths and mysteries and possibilities as has Fort. To me he is simply stupendous." (THEODORE DREISER)
