Madame Blavatsky by Gary Lachman
The Mother of Modern Spirituality
A brisk, engaging biography that follows her from 19th-century Russian aristocracy through adventurous travels in Asia and the founding of a global esoteric movement, examining the mix of charisma, occult claims, scandals and exposés that made her both famous and notorious; the book places her ideas in historical context, assesses allegations of fraud alongside reports of extraordinary phenomena, and shows how her fusion of Eastern and Western thought helped shape modern Western esotericism and later spiritual movements.
