The coming race: a quick read edition
Quick Read, Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Résumé
**"Vril:** The Power of the Coming Race" is a novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, published anonymously in 1871. It tells the story of a traveler who discovers a subterranean world inhabited by a superior race called the Vril-ya. These beings possess telepathic and parapsychological abilities, and their society is a technologically advanced utopia. They harness a powerful energy called "Vril" that can be used for healing or destruction. The novel gained popularity in the late 19th century, and the word "Vril" became associated with life-giving elixirs. Some theosophists believed the book was based on occult truth. The existence of a secret Vril Society in Weimar Berlin was suggested in a 1960 book. However, there is no historical evidence to support this claim. The Vril concept has influenced other esoteric authors and has been linked to UFO theories.
