A New Visitor From The Constellation Lyra

Начало книги

This book can be understood and enjoyed by those who have not yet read K-PAX (1995), K-PAXII:OnaBeamofLight (2001), and K-PAXIII:TheWorldsofProt (2002). To fully appreciate the context, however, I urge you to read the trilogy prior to, or immediately after, reading fled.

The aforementioned series describes the appearance, in 1990, of a man who claimed to have arrived “on a beam of light,” from the planet K-PAX, some 7000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra, and records my attempts, as a staff psychiatrist at the Manhattan Psychiatric Institute, to determine his true origins and treat his apparent delusion, which continued until the time of his final “departure” in 1997.
