Upton Sinclair

Mental Radio (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book is based on Sinclair's wife, Mary Craig Sinclair's experiments with telepathy and extrasensory perception (ESP). The book describes Mary Sinclair's ability to transmit and receive thoughts and images telepathically with her husband and other individuals. The couple conducted a series of experiments in which Mary would visualize an image or word, and Upton would attempt to guess what it was. The results of these experiments were recorded in the book. Sinclair's book was controversial at the time of its publication, as it challenged the prevailing scientific belief that telepathy and ESP were not real phenomena. The book sparked a renewed interest in parapsychology and the study of psychic phenomena. While some scientists have dismissed the results of the Sinclair's experiments as mere chance, others have suggested that they provide evidence of the existence of telepathy and ESP. Despite the controversy surrounding the book, it remains a classic in the field of parapsychology and is still studied and debated today.

Autorenporträt

Upton Beall Sinclair Jr. (1878 - 1968) was an American writer who wrote nearly 100 books and other works in several genres. Sinclair's work was well-known and popular in the first half of the twentieth century and he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1943. In 1906, Sinclair acquired particular fame for his classic muckraking novel The Jungle, which exposed conditions in the U.S. meat packing industry, causing a public uproar that contributed in part to the passage a few months later of the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act. In 1919, he published The Brass Check, a muckraking exposé of American journalism that publicized the issue of yellow journalism and the limitations of the "free press" in the United States. Four years after publication of The Brass Check, the first code of ethics for journalists was created. Time magazine called him "a man with every gift except humor and silence". He is also well remembered for the line: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." He used this line in speeches and the book about his campaign for governor as a way to explain why the editors and publishers of the major newspapers in California would not treat seriously his proposals for old age pensions and other progressive reforms. Upton Sinclair was considered a force of nature -- being not only prolific in his novel-writing but a political force of decided influence. Unknown to many of his admirers, Sinclair also wrote adventure fiction, under the name Ensign Clark Fitch, U.S.N.
