The Almanach de la Survie is a turn-of-the-century French spiritist almanac in the Kardecist line, its very title fixing its subject as la survie — survival beyond the grave. Its pages are steeped in the diagnostic vocabulary of the movement (esprit, spiritisme, perisprit) and given over largely to spirit-dictated moral teaching: that merit lies less in virtue than in suffering, that charity and love are the soul's true work. A faint magnetic residue (magnetiseur, passes) marks the tradition's descent from mesmerism. It is a work of popular devotional Spiritism rather than of psychical inquiry, offering consolation and moral instruction in the familiar almanac format. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
