Reincarnations (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161491302)

Reincarnations is a book written by James Stephens that explores the concept of reincarnation in various forms of literature. The book is divided into three sections, each containing a series of poems, short stories, and essays that delve into the idea of rebirth and the transmigration of the soul. The first section of the book focuses on the Celtic tradition of reincarnation, with Stephens drawing on Irish mythology and folklore to explore the concept of the soul's journey through different lives. The second section explores reincarnation in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, with a particular emphasis on the idea of karma and the cycle of birth and death. The final section of the book takes a more philosophical approach, with Stephens examining the concept of reincarnation from a more abstract perspective. He considers the implications of rebirth for the human experience, and the ways in which it can offer a sense of continuity and meaning in an otherwise chaotic world. Throughout the book, Stephens offers a rich and nuanced exploration of the concept of reincarnation, drawing on a wide range of literary and cultural sources to create a compelling and thought-provoking work. Whether you are a believer in the idea of rebirth or simply interested in exploring this fascinating concept, Reincarnations is a book that is sure to captivate and inspire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
