The most exhaustive book so far published on the subject, tracing the belief in a future life from the earliest ages down to the present day, among the primitive races as well as the civilised peoples of the East and West. The author is a man of profound learning who has the additional gift of a fascinating style, which is so well preserved in the English translation that it reads like the original. It contains over 100,000 words, and more than 120,000 copies of the French edition have been sold. Such a sale is conclusive proof in itself of the book's excellence.
