PHANTASMAGORIA

I want to read Phantasmagoria

Phantasmagoria tells the story of Jerome, who is convinced to leave his static life by the mysterious Mr Brown - a character of unique importance in his childhood and, indeed, indisputable relevance to his entire life. Mr Brown instructs Jerome to go on a journey that will inevitably change the very nature of his life, transforming his existence unrecognisably.

The purpose of this site is to provide information about the philosophical novel "Phantasmagoria", by Montgomery Hughes, and to provide a link to the relevant page on Google Books. In fact, one of the major reasons for having this site at all is because a Google Books account is not very personalisable, and there are a few additional comments I would like to make...

1

I would like to send my sincerest thanks to Prof. Max Tegmark, who wrote the paper "The Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: Many Worlds or Many Words?" (which makes an appearance in this book), as he has kindly allowed me to use excerpts from this paper.

2

"High on a throne of Royal state, which far

Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind"

This verse has been taken from Paradise Lost, by John Milton.

Although, on Google Books, the publisher is listed as 'Nemo', I would like to make it clear that this book does not have a publisher; it only appears on Google Books. The publisher 'Nemo', to the best of my knowledge, does not exist; Nemo being Ancient Greek for 'nobody'.

Contact Details

My email address is montgomeryhughes@gmail.com, at which you are more than welcome to contact me. If you enjoyed Phantasmagoria, or agreed with my views, I would love to hear from you. If you did not, I would certainly be interested in hearing from you, but cannot promise such enjoyment.

It is free to view my book on Google Books, and please feel equally free to tell everybody you know about that fact. If, whilst reading my book, anybody should be distracted enough to click on a Google Advert, although the creative side of me will be disappointed, my bank manager will be that little bit happier.

Contents

By very sensible request I have been asked to make some kind of contents page available. For similar reasons to those stated before I can't add one to Google Books (without re-uploading the book), so I have included it here instead.
