OverviewHelena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891), Russian-born Occultist, was co-founder of The Theosophical Society in 1875 and without doubt, the most dynamic woman and the most baffling character of the Nineteenth Century. Madame Blavatsky's major works (Isis Unveiled, The Secret Doctrine, The Key to Theosophy, The Voice of the Silence, etc.) are considered classics in occult and Theosophical literature. Charles Ryan has crafted a penetrating well-researched portrayal of H. P. B. This book throws light on the development of the thoughts of this remarkable individual and reveals Blavatsky's engagement throughout his life with the world of THEOSOPHY. In summation, this unusual book is a must-read classic for all students of enlightenment-both novices and seasoned scholars alike. EXCERPT: The history of the Theosophical Society is intimately interwoven with that of a few prominent men and women who have in various ways helped or hindered its progress. By far the most important personality is, of course, the founder of the Society, but the limitations of this brief outline do not permit a detailed and exhaustive study of her personal history. The simple facts about her life and character, however, stated and considered just as they are found, are a sufficient refutation of the unfounded libels and misrepresentations by which unthinking and occasionally vindictive writers from her time to our own have attempted to belittle if not destroy both her reputation and her life work.
