For those interested in Occultism and its greatest modern exponent, this Autobiography of H. P. Blavatsky brings together all the available events, experiences and relevant facts of that vigorous, brave, mysterious and wonderful life, arranged in their proper sequence. The task has been somewhat similar to what H. P. B. describes as her method of writing Isis Unveiled "When I think and watch my thoughts, they appear to me as though they were like those little bits of wood of various shapes and colours in the game known as casse tete I pick them up one by one, and try to make them fit each other, first taking one, then putting it aside until I find its match, and finally there comes out in the end something geometrically correct." With an introduction by H. P. Blavatsky's sister, Vera Petrovna de Zhelihovsky.
