The Weird Adventures of Professor Delapine of the Sorbonne by G. Lindsay Johnson
"The Weird Adventures of Professor Delapine of the Sorbonne" by G. Lindsay Johnson is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The book features a professor, Delapine, who is depicted as a genius with extraordinary abilities, and delves into themes of spiritualism, scientific inquiry, and the boundaries between known and unknown phenomena. The narrative suggests a fascinating exploration of the mysterious and the supernatural, providing a compelling premise for readersinterested in the intersection of science and mysticism. The opening of the novel introduces Dr. Riche, a medical professional who has recently returned to Paris after working in Algeria. His initial encounter at a café with Villebois sets the stage for the novel, as Villebois invites him to meet Professor Delapine, who is rumored to possess remarkable psychic powers. This exchange highlights Riche's skepticism toward spiritual phenomena, while Villebois advocates for their authenticity based on his experiences. The conversation unfolds with mentions of other intriguing characters, including Mademoiselle Violette, who seems to possess an uncanny ability for clairvoyance. The stage is thus set for an exploration of these psychic claims, with the characters poised between belief and skepticism. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
