Summary
To some he was a wizard, a miracle man; to others he was a charlatan and a fraud. His theories were revolutionary, but he was reviled by his contemporaries and exiled from his native Vienna. He became the toast of Paris, the disgrace of the medical profession, a visionary and a Svengali. He was Franz Anton Mesmer and this was eighteenth-century Vienna
