Le XVIème siècle est très riche, notamment en raison des grandes découvertes et à la pensée humaniste qui se diffuse chez tous les intellectuels de l'époque. Il y a effusion et diffusion des connaissances : on veut tout savoir, tout comprendre. C'est aussi un moment de retour aux textes antiques.

Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind is a 1901 book by the psychiatrist Richard Maurice Bucke.

Using sophisticated computers, new, and previously overlooked information, and his direct experience as the NASA scientist who designed and built the Apollo communications and data-processing system, Maurice Chatelain amasses starting and convincing evidence that our ancestors came from outer space.

What is cosmic consciousness? The present volume is an attempt to answer this question; but notwithstanding it seems well to make a short prefatory statement in as plain language as possible so as to open the door, as it were, for the more elaborate exposition to be attempted in the body of the work. Cosmic consciousness, then, is a higher form of consciousness than that possessed by the ordinary man.

Nepolapitelný, šarmantní a poněkud uličnický Arsène Lupin se setkává s legendárním logikem Sherlockem Holmesem. Střet a souboj dvou osobností spustí řetězec napínavých událostí, v nichž se zablýskne vzácný modrý diamant, ale nebude chybět ani pořádná dávka mužské cti, dámského půvabu, intrik a překvapivých a nápaditých zvratů. Lakonický a noblesní humor, který je pro postavu Arsèna Lupina příznačný, ještě vynikne v kontrastu s metodickým Holmesem a jeho železnou logikou a téměř zázračnou předvídavostí. Souboj dvou nejdůmyslnějších a nejkreativnějších mužů, kteří ačkoli každý na jiné straně zákona, zkříží samozřejmě zbraně podle pravidel dvorské etikety, může začít.
