About the author: Adrian Adolph Desarrol (1801-1886) is the one who has had a major impact on the study of the hand in the nineteenth century. Pays more attention to her symbolic learning, and more similar in his approach to the mysticism of the Renaissance. Revived and rejuvenated old forms chiromancyI.

Carefully reading the book Debarros, it can be noted that at the time of creation of his work he was engaged in palmistry already for 15 years and have made it our goal to combine palmistry and chirognomy (p. 10). Already in the Preface we find a progressive author's idea that "rock is always subject to free will" (p. 11). This idea is repeated later in the text: "always and everywhere our future depends on us" (p. 244). This opinion compares favorably with confidence medieval palmists in the immutability of fate and Predestination. Very modern sounding lines shown on page 281: "all the lines can grow and shrink and even over time to be destroyed completely. Formed even new, as we are assured all hiromantii, and as we ourselves have learned".

Needless to say that and still meet palmists, confident that fate is immutable, and the lines are not changed over the years. Fortunately, they are in the absolute minority.

Debarros the book contains a lot of philosophical digressions and attempts to give palmistry a greater scientific weight. In the reprinted edition of 1991 book includes 609 pages. Consideration of chirognomy the author begins on page 151, and, in fact, to chiromancy, the study of the lines on the 246-page.
