This particular book is a collaboration focused on Spiritism.More info: Spiritism is based on the five books of the Spiritist Codification written by French educator Hypolite Leon Denizard Rivail under the pseudonym Allan Kardec reporting seances in which he observed a series of phenomena that he attributed to incorporeal intelligence (spirits). His assumption of spirit communication was validated by many contemporaries, among them many scientists and philosophers who attended seances and studied the phenomena. His work was later extended by writers like Leon Denis, Arthur Conan Doyle, Camille Flammarion, Ernesto Bozzano, Chico Xavier, Divaldo Pereira Franco, Waldo Vieira, Johannes Greber and others.
