ALLAN KARDEC BOOKS

The Spiritist Review was a very reputable monthly journal written and published by Allan Kardec from January 1858 to April 1869. In total, there were 136 issues, which were later organized into 12 volumes of monthly issues each contained within its corresponding year. It is the largest collection of Spiritist writings by Allan Kardec.

When Allan Kardec set out for his historical journey of 1862, not even he could have foreseen the immense growth of Spiritism in France, inaugurated with the publication of The Spirits’ Book in Paris only five years earlier. In a time when there was no radio, nor any other means of mass communication other than the printed word, that span was remarkable by any standards. Offering some rare glimpses into the Codifier’s way of thinking, this book covers some practical aspects of nascent Spiritism, while keenly narrating its quiet triumph against formidable odds and opposition.

Those who enthusiastically and confidently pray have more strength to withstand the temptations of evil, and to get help from the good spirits sent by God to assist them in so doing. Such help is never refused when honestly asked for. The form is nothing, the thought is everything. Everyone should pray according to their convictions and the manner that affects them most deeply; a good thought is better than many words with nothing from the heart within.

This first volume is comprised of articles published from 1858 to 1864. These articles represent an extensive introduction to a wide range of Spiritist phenomena reported in great detail from different locations all over North America. They will provide the reader with a more precise idea of everything related to Spiritism that was occurring in the USA.

In addition to the profound study of the Spiritist theory and the explanations about several questions raised by the Spiritists, the Review shows the evolution of Kardec’s thought during the construction of the Spiritist Science. While complementing the two main books of the Spiritist Doctrine, The Spirits’ Book and The Mediums’ Book, and showing their most important applications, the Review is indispensable to all those willing to have an in-depth understanding of Kardec’s thoughts.
