Julius LeVallon: An Episode

"Julius LeVallon" by Algernon Blackwood is a supernatural novel. The recital is visionary, introducing a cosmic panorama of karma, rebirths, civilizations on other planets, nature elementals, magic, and a touch of romance. A chance encounter between John Mason and Julius Le Vallon ignites a long-forgotten remembrance of a previous life. Mason is reminded of the Temple Days, once the two of them as well a girl performed a forbidden experiment that went horribly wrong literally thousands of thousands of years ago. The experiment unveiled the elemental powers of Wind and Fire, which Le Vallon has been attempting to return to their domain since that. Because the girl did not exist, these efforts have almost always failed. Now, millennia later, as the story achieves its elemental climax, the three spirits are able to unite, and Le Vallon must encounter the hardest task.
