Description
The Story Behind the Book
This book was originally published anonymously in 1887 under the title An Adventure Among the Rosicrucians, but with copyright in the name of Franz Hartmann.
In 1910, Hartmann republished the story with a new title: With the Adepts. However, in his preface, he mentioned that it “has been gathered from notes handed to me by a friend, a writer of considerable repute.”
That friend and writer was H. P. Blavatsky.
At the time, Madame Blavatsky was undergoing a flurry of undeserved accusations and slander against her. Therefore, she considered it necessary to step aside so that no prejudice or hatred would be directed toward her mysterious story because of her name on the book cover. In addition, she took a vow of silence not to reveal during her lifetime what sought-for place she had visited.
In 1939, Helena Roerich, who continued Blavatsky’s mission in the 20th century, also confirmed Madame Blavatsky’s authorship.
Today, the time has come for this long-forgotten work to be revived and published under the name of its true author — H. P. Blavatsky — because the wisdom she concealed in the book has never been as relevant as it is today.
Find out in The Land of the Gods the secrets that Madame Blavatsky protected by giving her story to another writer.
