The Bright Messenger
Algernon Blackwood
Book Overview:
Julian LeVallon, born and raised alone in the Jura Mountains, is referred to psychiatrist Dr. Edward Fillery for care in London. But is LeVallon merely a schizophrenic with a secondary personality, "N.H." (non-human), or is he really an Elemental Being, a "bright messenger" who brings, perhaps, a new age of human evolution? And if so, is the human race ready for a major step forward?

I'd never read anything by Blackwood, but he was mentioned as one of a group of British authors who were influenced by the French philosopher Henri Bergson. The mention was in a Phd.
