Book Overview

"Tout dans la vie n'est qu' nergies et vibrations." - Albert Einstein

Louis Figuier, grand vulgarisateur scientifique fran ais, nous offre un ouvrage consacr au magn tisme et plus particuli rement au magn tisme animal ou mesm risme (technique d crite par le m decin allemand Franz Anton Mesmer). Dans cet ouvrage, il s'applique mettre en lumi re le parcours de Mesmer contre ses nombreux d tracteurs tout au long de sa vie. La renomm e de Mesmer reste incontestable, elle est telle que dans le monde Anglo-saxon le verbe hypnotiser (au sens propre comme au figur ) se dit To mesmerize. Vous d couvrirez dans ce livre des t moignages passionnants et difiants sur cette pratique (somnambulisme, gu risons inesp r es, pr dictions...). Bien que les connaissances actuelles scientifiques tendent d montrer que les ondes lectromagn tiques semblent bien pouvoir activer ou inhiber certains circuits neuronaux, le magn tisme reste en occident une m decine dite alternative sans reconnaissance officielle.

English description: Since the eighteenth century, the name Franz Anton Mesmer has been associated with one of the most intriguing and controversial ideas in the history of medicine: the existence of an invisible fluid capable of influencing the human body and producing remarkable healing effects.

In this compelling study, nineteenth-century science popularizer Louis Figuier examines the rise of animal magnetism and the extraordinary reputation of Mesmer. Drawing on testimonies, historical accounts and scientific debate, the book explores magnetic somnambulism, unexplained cures and the mysterious forces believed to flow between living beings.

Part historical investigation and part scientific inquiry, this work immerses readers in a fascinating moment when science, medicine and the supernatural intersected. It also reveals how Mesmer's ideas shaped Western culture so deeply that the English verb "to mesmerize" still echoes his legacy today.

A valuable document for readers interested in the history of hypnosis, energy healing and alternative medicine, this classic text sheds light on the origins of ideas that continue to influence modern discussions about consciousness and the healing arts.
