Después de la muerte por Léon Denis, 1906.
(About 3 minutes.) This video is in Spanish but if your Spanish
is rusty, no worries, you'll get the idea of the importance of
this book if you know that Francisco I. Madero was the leader
of Mexico's 1910 Revolution and President of Mexico 1911-1913
and, of course, the author of Manual espírita or,
Spiritist Manual. The voiceover, by my godson the actor
Fernando Cattori, is a reading of the inscription dated 1915
in Denis' book.
