Author Investigates Mysteries of Human Existence New Book

Author Rida Elawa takes a no nonsense approach to many of life's most complex universal questions in her new book, History and Mystery.

Altadena, CA (PRWEB) February 3, 2007 -- Drawing on personal experiences and her most beloved historical stories, first-time author Rida Elawa attempts to investigate the mysteries of human existence in History and Mystery. Elawa's book successfully explores several weighty issues - such as the meaning behind each individual's time on Earth and the greater forces in the universe - with a purposeful and no-nonsense tone.

Tired of watching honest people have their hopes shattered by so-called psychics and fortune tellers, Elawa decided to delve into the unknown by deconstructing true stories of the past using sources dating back to the days of Tudor England. Elawa's book also advises readers as to how they can protect themselves from darker forces and uses true stories to illustrate the importance of being cautious and aware in an uncertain world.

The author's storyteller style will entice readers to immerse themselves in her work and leave them contemplating the issues contained within long after they stop reading. History and Mystery is of particular appeal to mature audiences who love the thrill of unexplained events and thrive on the unknown, as well as fans of historical non-fiction.
