Mystical narrative of a soul s adventure Let us go forth the tellers of tales and seize whatever prey the heart longs for and have no fear Everything exists everything is true and the earth is only a little dust under our feet W B Yeats This is a striking book In the first scene we are introduced to a little boy a street arab dying in a hospital He passes into the next life and finds himself a little ghost adrift in a strange world from which all colour had been withdrawn This new world however was not a legendary land of shadows but the solid earth on which he had passed ten years of aggressively material life But he saw the former things in a new perspective a thin grey unsubstantial world like a badly focussed photograph After a while he realises that he is not alone but in a crowd of other beings like himself all wearily searching for company interests something that had been made necessary to them in the life now passing away They went on hopelessly endlessly the noise which he heard was the complaint which they made to the enveloping greyness because of the hardness of their quest At last in horror and dismay he flung out the whole force of his poor little spirit in prayer to some Force which he knew not and in answer to his supplication was born again into the material world this time as the son of a rich wholesale tailor living in a suburban villa The boy grows up keeping the recollection of his former existences the slum life and the life of the Grey World and the author maintains throughout the book a somewhat discordant contrast between her hero s inner life and his sordid though luxurious surroundings It is sometimes difficult to believe that both sides of the story could come out of one imagination As he grows up the horror of death and of a return to an immaterial existence grows upon the young man but with the increasing dread comes an increasing conviction that there must be some way of living in this present life some mental attitude which can be cultivated which would make the next not only endurable but desirable not only a condition of repining but a place of fulfilment that those in the grey world were those and those only to whom material things had been all in all How he works out his salvation we leave the reader to find out As he reads he will discover that the earthly side of the book is as original as the spiritual though far less attractive Spectator 8 April 1905 The Gray WorldThis is an extremely unusual book I am not quite sure how I even found it I think through reading about Evelyn Underhill s books on mysticism and then seeing she had written some novels This is a story about a young boy who dies experiences a kind of grey purgatory the Grey World and prays to be brought back to live His prayers are answered but he ends up in the body of someone else and goes through another life in which he seeks for meaning and spirituality I personally really enjoyed it because of the mystical themes not everyone s cup of tea though HTTP Evelynunderhill Org Evelyn Underhill HTTP Evelynunderhill Org Evelyn Underhill 1904 Strange story of a boy who dies and is reborn with ability to see the souls of the dead superimpose on the living He grows up looking for a friend or anyone who will believe what he sees understand him trying to find some meaning in all this He does find some peace in the end HTTP Evelynunderhill Org Evelyn Underhill 1904 Strange story of a boy who dies and is reborn with ability to see the souls of the dead superimposed on the living He grows up looking for a friend or anyone who will believe what he sees understand him trying to find some meaning in all this He does find some peace in the end HTTP Evelynunderhill Org Evelyn Underhill A story full of imagery and mysticism A journey of a child a boy beyond death in search for connection Seeking meaning in a dim world and a story that plays with the idea of reincarnation The author brings healing through creativity but this remains a story of despair and searching HTTP Evelynunderhill Org Evelyn Underhill
