De la télépathie: Étude sur la transmission de la pensée
by Émile Hureau
About the author
Born in 1877, Émile Hureau was a French writer and journalist whose surviving work shows a wide range of interests, from politics and social criticism to psychical research. Bibliographic records from the Bibliothèque nationale de France list him as the author of works including De la télépathie: étude sur la transmission de la pensée, published in 1920.
Historical reference works on the French anarchist movement also place him in the individualist anarchist milieu before the First World War. They describe him as a contributor to papers such as L’Anarchie and L’Idée libre, linking him to radical debates about society, freedom, and culture.
He died in 1922. Though not widely known today, Hureau remains an intriguing figure for readers interested in lesser-known French writers who stood at the crossroads of journalism, polemic, and unusual intellectual pursuits.
