It is an extended \u003cem\u003econte philosophique\u003c\/em\u003e seriously addressing the question of life after death as it was conceived at the time by scientifically-enthused psychic researchers, and as it bears upon human psychology under stress.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Also included in this volume are eleven stories from Rameau's collection \u003cem\u003eFantasmagories\u003c\/em\u003e, which represent one of the more exaggerated developments of the conte cruel genre. These tales are extreme both stylistically and thematically, combining the cynicism and irony definitive of the subgenre with grotesque black comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Rameau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 161227627X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612276274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Jean Rameau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088647074047,"sku":"9781612276274","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71fbbe88-893f-495b-a230-0a1f1ef488d9.jpg?v=1769105900","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arrival-in-the-stars-jean-rameau-9781612276274","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
