Publisher's Synopsis
The German Somnambules is a non-fiction book written by Frank Podmore. The book explores the phenomenon of somnambulism, or sleepwalking, in Germany during the 19th century. Podmore examines the cases of several famous German somnambulists, including the celebrated clairvoyant, Luise Lateau. He also delves into the scientific and cultural attitudes towards somnambulism at the time, as well as the role of mesmerism and hypnosis in inducing and treating the condition. The German Somnambules provides a fascinating insight into a little-known aspect of medical history and the cultural beliefs and practices of 19th-century Germany.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Mediums of the 19th Century Part 1, by Frank Podmore.
