Isis Unveiled, 2 Vols set is H. P. Blavatsky's first major literary effort. It is a critical response to the growing materialism in both scientific and religious institutions. And a vindication of the ageless quest. In HPB's words, Isis 'is the fruit of a somewhat intimate acquaintance with Eastern adepts and study of their science. By combining science with religion, the existence of God and immortality of man's spirit these principles are successfully demonstrated. Supported by extensive evidence from religious and mystical traditions, classical scholarship, and the testimony of nature, these volumes aid the student in detecting the vital principles which underlie the philosophical systems of old. Volume I focuses on the prevailing scientific theories of the time, balanced against the 'anciently universal Wisdom Religion.

While Volume II examines the creeds of religions past and present, alongside the myths and symbols of various cultures. Throughout, the author strikes at the root of dogma and affirms the 'paramount importance of re-establishing the Hermetic philosophy in a world which blindly believes it has outgrown it.

Author

Helena P. Blavatsky (1831 - 1891)

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (fondly known to students of Theosophy as HPB) was born on August 12, 1831, at Dnepropetrovsk (Ekaterinoslav), Ukraine.  Daughter of Colonel Peter Alexeyevich von Hahn and novelist Helena Andreyevna (née de Fadeyev) HPB was direct descendant of Eric the Russ.  In 1849 she married N. V. Blavatsky, and shortly thereafter began more than 20 years of extensive travel, which brought her into contact with mystic traditions the world over. She was the principal founder of the Theosophical Society in New York City in 1875 and devoted her extraordinary literary talents to its humanitarian and educational purposes until her death in London, England, on May 8, 1891. Along with writing her several books, H. P. Blavatsky kept up a voluminous correspondence and also contributed a steady stream of essays and articles to periodicals in English, French, and Russian.
