توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی
“This is rich, florid, funny history, with undertones of
human grief . . . Knight is shrewd and perceptive . . . [he]
pushes his material into neurobiology, into the nature of
placebos and expectations and self-fulfilling prophecies . . .
Knight’s book is crisp.” —Dwight Garner,
New York Times
“Stunning… An enveloping, unsettling book,
gorgeously written and profound.” —Patrick Radden
Keefe, New York Times bestselling author of Say
Nothing and Empire of Pain
From a rising star New Yorker staff writer, the
incredible and gripping true story of John Barker, a
psychiatrist who investigated the power of
premonitions—and came to believe he himself was destined
for an early death
On the morning of October 21, 1966, Kathleen Middleton, a music
teacher in suburban London, awoke choking and gasping,
convinced disaster was about to strike. An hour later, a
mountain of rubble containing waste from a coal mine collapsed
above the village of Aberfan, swamping buildings and killing
144 people, many of them children. Among the doctors and
emergency workers who arrived on the scene was John Barker, a
psychiatrist from Shelton Hospital, in Shrewsbury. At Aberfan,
Barker became convinced there had been supernatural warning
signs of the disaster, and decided to establish a
“premonitions bureau,” in conjunction with the
Evening Standard newspaper, to collect dreams and forebodings
from the public, in the hope of preventing future
calamities.
Middleton was one of hundreds of seemingly normal people, who
would contribute their visions to Barker’s research in
the years to come, some of them unnervingly accurate. As
Barker’s work plunged him deeper into the occult, his
reputation suffered. But in the face of professional
humiliation, Barker only became more determined, ultimately
realizing with terrible certainty that catastrophe had been
prophesied in his own life.
In Sam Knight’s crystalline telling, this astonishing
true story comes to encompass the secrets of the world. We all
know premonitions are impossible—and yet they come true
all the time. Our lives are full of collisions and coincidence:
the question is how we perceive these implausible events and
therefore make meaning in our lives. The Premonitions
Bureau is an enthralling account of madness and wonder, of
science and the supernatural. With an unforgettable ending, it
is a mysterious journey into the most unsettling reaches of the
human mind.
