Fulcanelli: His True Identity Revealed - Paperback

by Patrick Riviere (Author)

The alchemist Fulcanelli was the most famous adept of the 20th century, the man who achieved the Great Work less than 100 years ago, but his true identity has always been shrouded in myth and uninformed speculation...until now. Patrick Rivi re reveals with profuse documentary evidence the true identity of the enigmatic and prestigious author of The Mystery of the Cathedrals and The Dwellings of the Philosophers. Beginning with an overview of French alchemical life at the turn of the 20th century, Rivi re carefully builds his case step-by-step with facts, documents, and photographs, introducing us to the well-known physicist who was known as Fulcanelli. Rivi re also demolishes the scurrilous hypotheses that suggest Fulcanelli never existed. Rivi re is uniquely suited to solving this mystery as his teacher was Fulcanelli's sole student, Eug ne Canseliet.
