Book Details + Condition: First authorized (English) translation of ESSAYS ON LIFE AND DEATH by Jacques Heugel. Black cloth boards with gilt on spine. In very good condition: binding is tight and solid; slight shelf wear to boards; sporadic normal foxing (due to type of paper used); underlining and margin notes in approximately 10-15 pages (mainly concentrated to one chapter). Scarce dust jacket has normal toning and shelf wear. Contents include: The Mysticism of Sound; On Certain Peculiarities of Contemporary Art; Concerning Jazz; The East and the West; Spiritual Culture; The Age of Aquarius; On Reincarnation; The Conquest of Hell; Esoteric Sociology; I Am Myself; Numbers and Figures; The Cycle of Human Life; and much more. From the jacket: "These essays deal with music, occultism, astrology, and kindred subjects. The author considers that there exists a universal 'musical field' of super-sensible essence; his esoteric conceptions are strongly tinged with Celtic tradition."
