Sobre este producto

The Phantom World (English Edition) by Antoine Augustin Calmet is a landmark exploration of the strange borderlands where faith, testimony, and the uncanny meet. Written by a learned Benedictine scholar, this classic work examines the reported appearances of apparitions, spirits, angels, demons, and the restless dead, approaching each account with a careful, methodical eye that seeks to distinguish credible evidence from error, exaggeration, and deception.Drawing on historical records, theological reflection, and eyewitness narratives, Antoine Augustin Calmet surveys the enduring human fascination with the unseen world and the questions it provokes: What is the nature of a ghost? How do visions and hauntings arise? Can supernatural manifestations be authenticated, or are they better explained by misinterpretation, psychological disturbance, or fraud? With an investigator’s patience and a scholar’s rigor, Calmet weighs competing explanations while preserving the chilling power of the cases he recounts.Both a foundational text in the history of paranormal literature and a revealing window into early modern thought, The Phantom World offers readers an absorbing journey through accounts that have shaped Western imagination for centuries. Whether approached as theology, cultural history, or a compendium of eerie reports, this volume remains an essential read for anyone drawn to the mysteries of spirits and the enduring debate over what may lie beyond the veil.
