Synopsis "Isis Unveiled: Secrets of the Ancient Wisdom Tradition, Madame Blavatsky's First Work: Secret of the Ancient Wisdom Tradition - Madame Blavatsky's First Work "

Creating a sensation when it was first published in 1877, the first major work by the young Russian noblewoman who would found the Theosophical Society devoted 1200 pages to the mysteries of ancient and modern science and theology. This new edition abridged by Theosophical scholar Michael Gomes breathes fresh life into this classic of Western esoteric thinking. Stripped of its lengthy quotations from other writers and its repetitious commentary, Isis Unveiled is revealed to be a clear and readable exploration of the universal truths of the Ancient Wisdom Tradition by one of the most remarkable women of modern times.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (Ekaterinoslav, 1831 – London, 1891) was an influential Russian writer and a central figure in modern esotericism. Co-founder of the Theosophical Society in 1875, her work combines elements of occultism, Eastern religions, philosophy, and mysticism. Her literary style, dense and symbolic, falls within the genre of esoteric and metaphysical essay, with a doctrinal focus on the nature of the soul, karma, and the spiritual evolution of humanity

Among her most recognized books are Isis Unveiled (1877), The Secret Doctrine (1888), The Voice of the Silence (1889), Practical Occultism (1890), and Letters from H. P. Blavatsky to A. P. Sinnett (published posthumously in 1925). She did not receive literary awards during her lifetime, but her legacy has been decisive in spiritual movements of the 20th century
