Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the psychological and medical mystery of a unique case of double consciousness. The author, a celebrated doctor, presents the unnerving case of AndrĂ Fortis, a young painter who, throughout his life, undergoes periods of somnambulism that create within him an entirely different personality that coexists with his true self. AndrĂ 's anxieties about this condition and its impact on his life become a pressing concern when he falls in love and becomes engaged to CĂ cile de jandrieu. His fears center around the possibility of his "other self" disrupting his newfound happiness and the life they plan to build together. Seeking answers and a solution, he consults with Dr. Chardin, a renowned specialist in nervous disorders. Dr. Chardin attempts to reassure AndrĂ , emphasizing the belief that his condition is treatable and that he should have faith in the possibility of overcoming it. The book delves into the complexities of the human psyche, examining the fragile line between sanity and mental illness while also exploring the profound power of love and its ability to overcome even the most disquieting obstacles.
