The Solar System Paperback – January 1, 2001

This books contents contains obscure pieces of information collected in one book. A.E. Powell's books are a must read for anybody interested in occult literature.

A great book for all of you who are into New Age and history/future of mankind.When I started to read this book, I didn't even know about the Secret Doctrine. Of course, after finishing it, I read the H.P.B classic... The Solar System is an excellent complementary reading, when it comes to the mavantara/pralaya cycles, rounds, races, etc... There's some pictures showing the cycles that make easy to understand how our solar system works.After all, it is a must read.

this was a gift to someone else

A good book on looking at what some people believed at the time of this writing. Apparently this book is based on some earlier writings and books of the time - some influence of Hindu writings, and other writings based possibly on vril and books about Atlantis. The book sort of reads like a historical narrative or historical fiction (like Tolkien's Silmarillion), and somehow tries to relate racial evolution of humans to periods of time. It even delves into life on other nearby planets in the solar system as well as tries to look into the future (this was written in the 30's - including a claim about India still being part of the British empire). The author also tells about the history of Greeks thousands of years in the past (even though the ancient Greeks were preceded by the Mycenaean civilization).

A mind expanding book. It challenges our limited way of thinking about the solar system. Food for thought. Highly recommended

It gives a good understanding of the evolution of the human race and the solar system. Greater understanding of the scheme of evolution.

Must Read! Highly recommend this book.
