Life and Destiny

by Léon Denis

About this book

Léon Denis presents a spiritualist account of human existence, personal identity and the soul’s development. In Ella Wheeler Wilcox’s English translation, questions about life and death lead into discussions of memory, consciousness and the possibility of continued existence beyond the body.

Three parts examine the problem of life, successive lives and reincarnation, and the powers of the soul. Topics include sleep, telepathy, responsibility, will, love and sorrow. This complete original English edition preserves the translator’s introduction and the original printed text.
