Aggelos Tanagras: The Lost Diary

// A lost diary, forgotten for decades in a New York library, tells us the story of the “Man of Wonders”…

In the midst of the ongoing wars at the beginning of the 20th century, a scientist dares and acts against the establishment...against the rising movement of Spiritualism and its supporters (from university professors to prime ministers of the country), bringing to Greece the scientific study of psychics. phenomena.

And his name, Angelos Tanagras; arch-physician and retired admiral of the Navy, recognized writer under the same publishing roof as Kostis Palamas and Penelope Delta, founder of the Psychic Research Society and "father" of Greek parapsychology. Telepathy experiments with European capitals, crime-solving and police lectures, parapsychology courses at the University, an international conference in Athens. And all this, at a time when intellectuals were creating spiritualist circles believing that they were communicating with the spirits of the dead.

From the secular dances of the famous palaces of ancient Athens to the cosmopolitan Smyrna of the 1920s, from the battlefields of the "unfortunate" Greco-Turkish war to the academic circles of international parapsychology conferences, experience the glory and simultaneously the unspeakable horror through the author's experiences · relive, as if you were present, the era that shaped modern Greece like no other.
