The authoras unconformity with the general mysticism of the world and an urge to search for a more personal comprehension for the mysterious and spiritual things gave way to this very distinct perception of the possible links between men and God. If nothing else, this work represents an interesting excursion to the realms of fantasy and imagination. For centuries, concepts and possibilities have been advanced for a spiritual afterlife, always suggesting a stance as devotees, followers or disciples, but never one with the outlook for a primary and fundamental role for the subjects. Before and After Life is an exploration of the most common human ideas about life and its relation to spirituality, as well as the probability of an intellectual existence beyond death.
