The Riddle of Life (and How Theosophy Answers It), by Annie Besant. 1922 softcover. 58 pages, very nice condition.

A philosophical exploration of the meaning of life and the role of Theosophy in answering this age-old question. The book delves into the nature of existence, the purpose of human life, and the mysteries of the universe. Besant draws upon her extensive knowledge of Eastern and Western philosophy, religion, and science to provide a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the human condition. She explores the concepts of karma, reincarnation, and the evolution of consciousness, and argues that Theosophy offers a unique perspective on the meaning of life that is both rational and spiritual.

Annie Besant (1847 – 1933) was an English socialist, theosophist, freemason, women's rights and Home Rule activist, educationist, and campaigner for Indian nationalism. In 1890 Besant met Helena Blavatsky, and her interest in theosophy grew, whilst her interest in secular matters waned. She became a member of the Theosophical Society and a prominent lecturer on the subject.
