Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Madame Helena Blavatsky, the founder of Theosophy, was the granddaughter of a White Russian princess. She became the first internationally famous professional psychic and she was also a brilliant occult con artist who drew such figures as G. B. Shaw and William Butler Yeats into her bizarre web. A fervent flower child, she journeyed to the East in search of enlightenment almost 100 years before the hippie hegira of the 1960s.

About the Author
A biographer and novelist, Marion Meade is the author of nine books, including The Unruly Life of Woody Allen, Buster Keaton: Cut to the Chase, Dorothy Parker: What Fresh Hell Is This?, Sybille, Stealing Heaven: The Love Story of Heloise and Abelard, Eleanor of Aquitaine: A Biography, Free Woman: The Life and Times of Victoria Woodhull, and Bitching.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating book, March 24, 2006
Very good and interesting book. A lot of new information about Helena's life, and mostly realistic view of the author, in my opinion.
It is nice to hear all the facts from neutral side, rather then only reading those who were pro or against her.
There should be a movie about Helena, and it would be quite a drama and exciting, and long too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Madam Blavatsky: The Woman Behind the Myth, February 14, 2008
This is a very well written book although I was quite surprised by the story of Madam Blavatsky. A little dissapointed at the least. As I have looked up to Madam Blavatsky and have heard nothing but good stories about her until I read this book.
