Living in Arcadia
In Paris in 1954, a young man named André Baudry founded Arcadie, an organization for “homophiles” that would become the largest of its kind that has ever existed in France, lasting nearly thirty years.

Magnetiseurs Et Medecins
Europe, 1875: Leon, Donato et Hansen sont des magnetiseurs celebres qui pratiquent leur art sur les treteaux. Entendons par la qu'ils font des seances publiques d'hypnose. Celles-ci ont ete deja interdites a Donato en Italie, tandis qu'en France et ailleurs les medecins veulent aussi les faire interdire pour se reserver le monopole et le privilege du magnetisme. L'auteur de cet ouvrage, Joseph Delboeuf, professeur l'universite de Liege, n'aime ni les monopoles ni les privileges. Il a pris le parti de la liberte et se bat avec beaucoup de malice, d'humour et d'informations contre la clique des societes savantes et contre une revue specialisee qui semble prete a tout pour garder son lectorat. Ce livre agreable a lire est une mine d'informations sur l'histoire, les acteurs et les pratiques de l'hypnose medicale. Version imprimée disponible sur www.buenosbooks.fr
