"What is the "secret of Great Tartary"? What became of the Swedish clerk Carl Robsahm's original reminiscence of his talks with Emanuel Swedenborg? Where is Vladimir Dal's work on the apocalypse? What was Strindberg's reaction to Balzac's Seraphita?" "These provocative questions are answered by Anders Hallengren in a selection of far-reaching essays. Hallengren's research in various parts of the world brings to light records that were formerly thought to be lost over time." --Book Jacket.
