Upton Sinclair

Mental Radio (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"Mental Radio" by Upton Sinclair is a captivating foray into the uncharted territory of telepathy and clairvoyance by a man better known for his politically influential novels and journalism. Venturing beyond the realms of political exposés, Sinclair candidly shares his reluctant exploration into the realms of extra-sensory perception, spurred by the extraordinary abilities of his wife, Mary Craig Sinclair. Fueled by her premonitions, including an eerie insight into Jack London's mental turmoil before his suicide, the Sinclairs embarked on a fascinating investigation.

At the heart of the book are the doodles created outside Craig's presence, which she astonishingly duplicates through what appears to be telepathic or clairvoyant means. Sinclair presents compelling evidence, citing a remarkable 75% success rate over 290 tests, challenging conventional notions of probability. Esteemed figures, including Albert Einstein and William McDougal, attested to the credibility of the Sinclairs' experiments, leaving readers to grapple with the intersection of Sinclair's reputation as a truth-teller and the inexplicable world of extrasensory perception.

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.
