Nonfiction · 1918
The New Revelation
A lifelong skeptic and man of science describes his own gradual, then total, conversion to a belief in Spiritualism and communication with the dead — laying out, with the same methodical care he once brought to detective fiction, the personal experiences and investigations that persuaded him a new religious revelation was at hand.
Arthur Conan Doyle published The New Revelation in 1918, the first of several books setting out his Spiritualist convictions in the years following the First World War's staggering losses; it marks the public turning point of a commitment that would occupy much of the rest of his life.

About the author
1859–1930 · Victorian
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born in Edinburgh and trained as a physician there before practising in Southsea, where he wrote A Study in Scarlet (1887), the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes. The Holmes stories in the Strand Magazine from 1891 made him famous; he killed the detective in 1893 and revived him in 1901–03. He also wrote historical novels, the Professor Challenger stories (The Lost World, 1912), military histories, and, in his later years, extensively on spiritualism. He was knighted in 1902.
