THE BOOK OF THE DAMNED. WHEN THE REALITY IS OVER THE FANTASY -Charles Fort, in 1919 published "The Book of the Damned" Wichita perorted real events included falls of fishes, spontaneus fires and descriptions of unidentified flying objects
He was 45 years Charles Fort when, in 1919, he published his first literary work: "The Book of the Damned . A book containing true events, observed and documented by newspapers, but incredible. There are not many reports concerning his private life, except his passion for the thoroughness and the observation of reality. And his book is an archive, detailed, detailed events that occurred on the edge but really incredible. Some examples: in 1861, in Singapore, there was an incredible rain of live fish, which fell from the sky with the rain (but we know that in Italy there was a similar incident in the province of Adria, the July 2, 1933, reproduced from " Domenica del Corriere"). Cases of spontaneous combustion , persons found completely burned alive but the clothes intact, and even rain of frogs live and documentation of sightings of flying objects by the military authorities in the late nineteenth century.
Many called him the precursor of "Fantastic Realism ," a brave observer of his time, able to describe phenomena with great meticulousness, even today, are often deliberately ignored.
