Reincarnation and Redemption

Gilbert-Augustin Thierry

Translated by Brian Stableford

Gathered together and translated into English for the first time by Brian Stableford, the current volume contains three bizarre novellas of the paranormal by Gilbert-Augustin Thierry (1843-1915), originally published in periodicals of the day. Written when the author was heavily involved with the French Occult Revival, these feverish tales of reincarnation and redemption are prime examples of an intriguing and much-ignored subspecies of supernatural fiction, and, plunging readers directly into an imaginative environment of suspended disbelief, lack neither in narrative verve nor flamboyance.

The three novellas in the book:
1. Larmor’s Redemption
2. Rediviva
3. The Beloved

About the Author
Gilbert-Augustin Thierry (1843-1915), the son of the writer Amédée Thierry and the nephew of the historian Augustin Thierry, was a novelist, poet and journalist, who published extensively in the Revue des Deux-Mondes. In 1875 he debuted with the intensively-researched historical novel L’Aventure d’une âme en peine, followed in 1882 by Le Capitaine Sans-Façon 1813 : épisodes de la contre-révolution. His subsequent works, which include Marfa (1887), La tresse blonde (1888), La Savelli (1890), Le masque (1894) and Le stigmate (1898), often dealt with the occult and the supernatural.
