Infos

The Edge of the Unknown is Arthur Conan Doyle's final major work, a collection of essays and articles delving into mysterious and psychic phenomena. Compiled in the twilight of his life, this volume finds Doyle investigating assorted "e;unsolved"e; mysteries-from the uncanny powers of Houdini to ghostly encounters and spirit communications. Written with conviction, Doyle uses each chapter to champion the spiritualist cause, offering what he sees as compelling evidence of an unseen reality. He addresses skeptics head-on, discussing mediums, haunted houses, automatic writing, and other occult topics with a mix of storytelling and reportage. Serving as a capstone to his spiritualist writings, The Edge of the Unknown provides a fascinating glimpse into Doyle's relentless quest to prove the existence of the paranormal, written with the fervor of a believer intent on sharing his "e;new revelation"e; of the unseen world.

Autor

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish author, physician, and spiritualist best known for creating the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where his storytelling talent began to emerge alongside his scientific education. Though initially practicing as a doctor, Doyle turned to writing to support himself, eventually achieving worldwide fame with the publication of A Study in Scarlet in 1887. Beyond detective fiction, he explored historical novels, science fiction, and supernatural themes, notably in the Professor Challenger series. A passionate advocate for justice, he was involved in several real-life legal investigations. In his later years, Doyle became deeply involved in spiritualism, dedicating much of his time and writings to life after death. His legacy endures as one of the most influential figures in literary history.
