何についての本か
スピリティスム（心霊主義）の基礎となった書。神、魂、再生、道徳的生についての千あまりの問いと、その答え。
背景と歴史
この書が自らをどう提示しているかは説明を要する。それ自体が本文の一部だからだ。答えは霊媒を通じて霊が口述したものであり、アラン・カルデック——教育者イポリット・リヴァイユの筆名——はそれを集めて並べただけだ、と本書は述べている。この帰属は教説であって検証可能な事実ではなく、この覚書はそれを是認することも伏せることもできない。一八五七年の書であり、そのままのものとして収めてある。とりわけブラジルで大きな影響力をもった運動の基礎文献であり、十九世紀の宗教意識を知るための資料である。

Grave, slow of speech, unassuming in manner, yet not without a certain quiet dignity resulting from the earnestness and single-mindedness which were the distinguishing traits of his character, neither courting nor avoiding discussion, but never volunteering any remark upon the subject to which he had devoted his life, he received with affability the innumerable visitors from every part of the world who came to converse with him in regard to the views of which he was the recognised exponent, answering questions and objections, explaining difficulties, and giving information to all serious inquirers, with whom he talked with freedom and animation, his face occasionally lighting up with a genial and pleasant smile, though such was his habitual sobriety of demeanour that he was never known to laugh. Among the thousands by whom he was thus visited were many of high rank in the social, literary, artistic, and scientific worlds. The Emperor Napoleon III., the fact of whose interest in spiritist-phenomena was no mystery, sent for him several times, and held long conversations with him at the Tuileries upon the doctrines of THE SPIRITS’ BOOK. Having suffered for many years from heart-disease, ALLAN KARDEC drew up, in 1869, the plan of a new spiritist organisation, that should carry on the work of propagandism after his death. In order to assure its existence, by giving to it a legal and commercial status, he determined to make it a regularly constituted joint-stock limited liability publishing and bookselling company, to be constituted for a period of ninety-nine years, with power to buy and sell, to issue stock, to receive donations and bequests, etc. To this society, which was to be called "The Joint Stock Company for the Continuation of the Works of ALLAN KARDEC," he intended to bequeath the copyright of his spiritist writings and of the Revue Spirite.…
