An expert on Oriental languages recounts séances led by medium George Valiantine in which he communicates with Confucius in archaic Chinese. The dust jacket design, uncredited, is a triumph of geometric art-deco design in black-and-white, presenting an astrological dial obscuring Asian faces, a Manhattan cityscape in the background. Dust jacket preserved in a removable, clear archival sleeve.
