Biography
In 1930 he left Latvia: he studied philosophy and the history of literature at the universities of Paris (1930-1932), Madrid (1932-1934) and Edinburgh (1934-1936).
In 1936, having returned to Latvia, he received a scholarship to translate Don Quixote and other works of Spanish authors into Latvian. He was called the "messenger of the Spanish spirit" for trying to build a bridge between Latvia and Spain.
At this time, he met Dr. Zenta Maurinia , who became his wife. Zenta Maurinia from five years old was confined to a wheelchair, known as a writer and essayist .
In 1937-1944 Raudive lived and worked in Latvia, where he gained fame as a philosopher, writer and translator of Spanish literature. Just at the moment when he ordered the architect to build a house for them with Zenta, they had to flee.
Emigration
For almost two years, he and his disabled wife fled through Germany. At the end of 1946, they stayed in Uppsala , Sweden, where a local university offered both professors. Before wandering around Germany, Raudive did not know a word in German. With language skills, he learned the language in an amazingly short time. In addition to Latvian and Russian, which were native languages, he spoke Spanish and French, later also German and Swedish.
In 1946, Raudive moved to Germany . In Bad Krozingen, he rented a small house with a garden, where he stayed with Zenta Maurina until his death in 1974.
E-Voice Phenomenon Studies
Konstantin Raudive gained worldwide fame for his research in the field of the phenomenon of electronic voice (FEG) , however, until 1965, before he was closely engaged in the phenomenon of voices, he was known as a novel writer and author of philosophical books. The most famous of his works are Asche und Glut, Der Chaosmensch und seine Überwindung, Helligkeit und Zwielicht, Lebenshunger and the trilogy Die Memoiren des Sylvester Perkons.
He wrote two important books on the phenomenon of electronic voices.
- The first, “Unhörbares wird hörbar” (“Inaudible becomes audible”), was released in Germany in 1968 along with a phonographic record containing examples of voices. In England, this book was published in 1971 under the title Breakthrough, and in Italy in 1973, Voci dall'Alddida.
- His second book on tape voices is Überleben wir den Tod? (Are We Surviving Death?), Which went on sale in 1973. It was published in Italy a few years later under the heading “Sopraviviamo dopo la morte?”.
- The third book, Der Fall Wellensittich (The Case of the Budgerigar), was released posthumously in 1975.
In addition to his books, Raudive left behind a large number of tape recordings and protocols. One of them was archived in England, the other is stored in a memorial room dedicated to C. Raudiva and Maurin, in the Latvian gymnasium in Münster , Westphalia, where visitors can not only see but also listen to them.
