Over the course of the first ten years, more than 1,300 people who had a near-death experience spent many hours of their precious time answering over one hundred questions in NDERF’s detailed questionnaire. I expected to be successful in an endeavor, but as it has turned out, I have been wildly successful. With such a questionnaire, I could examine the individual elements in NDEs or an entire NDE itself. ![]() One of my goals for the site was to collect as many NDEs as I could and to collect them through a questionnaire that would make it easy to separate and study their elements.

When a new monster emerges from the shadows-one who feeds on chaos and brings out its victim’s inner demons-it lures Kate home, where she finds more than she bargained for. In Verity, August has become the leader he never wished to be, and in Prosperity, Kate has become the ruthless hunter she knew she could be. Nearly six months after Kate and August were first thrown together, the war between the monsters and the humans is terrifying reality.

More modest in its chronological sweep than Victor Del Litto’s later Pléiade Journal, this version is accompanied now by a new preface, a chronology of Stendhal’s life by Mariella Di Maio, a note on the text by Xavier Bourdenet, a previously unpublished draft letter of 1808 (found in one of the Berès notebooks) to the author’s friend and cousin Martial Daru, a useful bibliography, as well as revised notes and an index of names cited. The relevant sections of Henri Martineau’s Pléiade version of the Journal have been revised in the light of a rereading of the newly acquired manuscripts. ![]() This is the first paperback edition of Stendhal’s Journal, and the first in nearly seven decades to have been able to draw directly on six notebooks - dramatically acquired in 2006 from the private collection of Pierre Berès for the Bibliothèque municipale de Grenoble - which cover a combined period of over three years between July 1805 and October 1814. ![]() |
