Synopsis

Explores life, death, and what remains after we pass away, grounded in careful testimony and thoughtful analysis.

This book presents a broad look at what people mean by survival of memory and affection after death, blending personal reminiscences with documented experiences and a clear, reasoned approach to a topic many find mysterious.

This edition is organized in three parts. The first offers personal glimpses of life at the front and a portrait of a young man’s character and skills. The second presents what are described as unusual communications, with reflections on their meaning and value. The final part treats the subject as a coherent field of study, outlining the laws, limits, and potential of psychical science and its relation to everyday life.

• Read letters and reminiscences that illuminate the human side of war and memory.
• Encounter accounts of what are called supernormal communications, with context and interpretation.
• Learn about the framework, aims, and challenges of studying life, death, and continued existence.
• See how evidence and inquiry are used to discuss mind, matter, and means of communication.

Ideal for readers curious about life after death, the intersection of science and spirituality, and the early history of psychical research.
