This book by the Russian novelist Vsevolod Sergeyevich Solovyov
(1849 1903), translated and abridged by Walter Leaf (1852 1927) and
published in 1895, reflects on the life of Madame Helena Blavatsky
(1831 1891), co-founder of the theosophy movement in the United
States. Originally published over eight months in literary magazine
Russy Vyestnik ('Russian Messenger'), the book considers the
controversy that engulfed Blavatsky in her final years over
displays of her 'phenomena'. Solovyov was living in Paris in 1884
and researching spiritualist literature when he met Blavatsky
(whose work was known in Russia), but he became disillusioned with
both her and her movement. Leaf, a classical scholar and fellow of
Trinity College, Cambridge, undertook the translation for the
Council of the Society for Psychical Research, which had
investigated Blavatsky's work. This account now provides a window
on to the life of one of Europe's most controversial
nineteenth-century spiritual leaders.
