Esoteric World of Madame Blavatsky

Description

World traveler and student of religions, Blavatsky was among the first to bring Eastern wisdom to the West. Her writings excited such luminaries as W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, and Gustav Mahler. Here are first-handed accounts of her colorful life by family, friends, and enemies.

Originally self-published as The Occult World of Madame Blavatsky (LJ 2/1/92), this updated version may reach a wider audience. Caldwell has gathered these reminiscences by her relatives, acquaintances, friends, enemies, and co-workers, giving readers a look at Helena Blavatsky’s life (1831-91), along with a glimpse into her enigmatic personality. Some New Age devotees may recognize Blavatsky as the 19th-century Russian who traveled the world and was attracted to the unexplored mysteries in cosmic and human nature. As a prolific writer in her own right, these searches are well-documented, but here the reader has the chance to get to know her life and influences better. The story of her life is easy to follow, with the variety of memories well blended.
