Description: **I Combine Shipping**: " Madame Blavatsky, The Woman Behind the Myth ". 1980. By Marion Meade. Putnam, New York, 9 1/4 by 6 1/4 by 1 1/2 inch, Hardcover with DJ, former private library book. 528 pages. Out of Print ~Superb biography of the woman who helped initiate serious study of Eastern concepts and philosophy (especially Hindu and Buddhist) among Westerners. Nearly 100 years before the flower children went east, Blavatsky and her followers began exploring and incorporating elements of Indian and Eastern practice into their mystical system, called Theosophy. Pics 6 & 7 show contents, preface is on 8 & 9...see all pics! Ever wonder where or how Theosophy started? This book shows you! Includes a decent photo illustrated section of prime early movers and shakers in Theosophy...which included George Bernard Shaw and William Butler Yeats, among others! This includes many honest takes on scandals and the bona-fide weirdness of Blavatsky and the movement she created. Destined to provide hours of discovery and reading fun for the lucky winner. Please see my other auctions for more items on Yoga, Philosophy, Martial arts, a bit of architecture, Buddhism, Vedanta and history. Starting price is my usual El Cheepo $9.99! Shipping by USPS Media Mail, **I combine shipping**. What it actually costs is what you pay. Folks, I work weekends at a high-responsibility job which can take me away from my accounts for a few days. Please be patient if you don't receive an answer right away during that time. Thank You for looking :)
