📱 eBook en inglés THE LAND OF MIST (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

The Land of Mist, the third Professor Challenger novel, transforms Doyles scientific romance into a spiritualist inquiry. Serialized in the Strand (1925) and published in 1926, it follows reporter Edward Malone and Enid Challenger through séances, public disputations, and cautious tests that sift testimony from fraud. Dialogic chapters and case-study vignettes replace jungle exploits; Challengers embattled rationalism collides with claims of survival after death. Set amid the interwar crisis of belief and the vogue for psychical research, the book blends melodrama with reportage to probe the limits of materialist science. Doyle, physician-turned-novelist and outspoken advocate of Spiritualism, writes from conviction shaped by wartime bereavements and years engaging psychical research. Companion tracts The New Revelation and The Vital Message announce the same aim: to defend survival after death while conceding the reality of imposture and the need for disciplined inquiry. Readers of speculative fiction, intellectual history, or religion-and-science debates will find The Land of Mist rewarding. As a sequel to The Lost World and a cultural artifact of the 1920s, it marries argument to narrative vigor; approach it as a serious historical brief in fictional form.
