AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Set in Vienna, this is the confession of a psychiatrist, and the story of a man who had returned from the grave. Karl Darosch had to all medical accounts been actually dead for four minutes during an operation, and when he recovered was hounded by publicity men and religious organisations for statements of what he had experienced "beyond the border". However, Karl could remember nothing; but he found that he now had a new and extraordinary power which enabled him to see the future—a power that led him again to the grave, but this time he was never to return.'
