About this book
What people do with the idea of the end of life is the question behind this book by Maurice Maeterlinck, translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos and issued by Methuen of London. The first chapter, "Our Injustice to Death", argues that we think about it constantly yet give it none of our intelligence, so that our picture of it has barely changed since our ancestors drew it. The author points to the old terrors of Sheol, Hades and Hell as the images that still weigh on even sceptical minds.
