Oryginalny opis angielski

Thibault Ternon set himself the goal of shedding light on this strange character, who began his life performing magic tricks and then gradually changed direction to present physics experiments. At the end of his life, Jules de Rovere became completely immersed in esotericism, claiming to have powers to heal the sick.
