Early printing. An attractive early printing of this work originally published in 1940 during World War II. From the dust jacket "The old problem of pain and why there must be suffering, mental and physical, is trenchantly discussed in the present book. The author says things which, especially in these days of war, need saying, and the book will help many people to revise what they have taken for granted and to see possibilities which have not occurred to them before." The Scottish Guardian called this "a brilliant and suggestive book, combining logic and imagination, philosophy and orthodoxy." Index, 148 pp. Near fine in a near very good dust jacket, with some minor chipping and toning, but still complete. Rather uncommon in any early hardcover edition. .
