Raymond

Book • 1916
Written in 1916 by Sir Oliver Lodge after the death of his son Raymond in the First World War, this book is divided into three parts: the first presents Raymond's life and letters from the war; the second details communications from Raymond to his family through mediums, which Lodge believed to be genuine; and the third part discusses the scientific and psychological aspects of life after death.

The book aims to provide comfort to mourners by presenting what Lodge considered convincing evidence of survival after death and communication between the living and the dead.

It was influential in spiritualist circles and cited by figures such as Carl Jung, though it also faced criticism for its claims.
