A Wanderer in the Spirit Lands
by A. Farnese
1896

A classic true story of the afterlife, and of a love that flourishes beyond the grave. Written through the psychic medium A. Farnese, A Wanderer in the Spirit Lands is the true autobiography of Franchezzo, an Italian socialite who squanders his life on "wine, women and song." After an untimely death, he finds his spirit wandering in one of the dark lower worlds, alone and hopeless except for continued messages of love his young wife sends him through her prayers. Moved by the constancy of her devotion, he sets out to redeem himself by trying to help other lost souls, a mission which takes him into the lowest hells of the astral realm. Through his journey, there unfolds a remarkably lucid account of the different levels of the spirit realm, and the great brotherhoods of light who work there. Esoteric students have long regarded Wanderer in the Spirit Lands as one of the clearest, most accurate descriptions of the spirit realms and the life that awaits us on the other side.
