Educational and Highly Entertaining Biography,
By
This review is from: Blavatsky and Her Teachers (Hardcover)
This book is a brilliant biography of that controversial figure Helena Blavatsky. Very much essential reading if one wants to get a balanced account of her life. There is no doubt that Jean Overton Fuller is pro-Blavatsky, but she does not in any way overlook the controversies and manages to put the criticism in context without ignoring it. Not only that, but I found the depiction of her early life quite fascinating. I had often wondered how a young woman could go around the East without being molested. Fact is she was on occasion, but she carried a gun and was prepared to use it !!! What a woman ! What a life ! And by the end of the book I was personally convinced that she was not in any way the fraud she is sometimes made out to be. Rather, a very gifted woman with a specific purpose in life. Entertaining as well as educational reading and highly recommended.

Original and well done biography of a great lady,
By
This review is from: Blavatsky and Her Teachers (Hardcover)
A very good, well researched biography of H.P. Blavatsky. I'd recommend it to anyone who's already read one other biography about the lady. It's not a biography to dive into if you know nothing about theosophy or the Theosophical Society, but one to read if you want to go into her life in depth more.
It's a sympathetic biography that does not ignore the controversy around Blavatsky. |
