From The Caves And Jungles Of Hindostan By Helena Petrovna Blavatsky Translated From The Russian Translator's Preface "You must remember," said Mme. Blavatsky, "that I never meant this for a scientific work. My letters to the Russian Messenger, under the general title: 'From the Caves and Jungles of Hindostan, ' were written in leisure moments, more for amusement than with any serious design. "Broadly speaking, the facts and incidents are true; but I have freely availed myself of an author's privilege to group, colour, and dramatize them, whenever this seemed necessary to the full artistic effect; though, as I say, much of the book is exactly true, l would rather claim kindly judgment for it, as a romance of travel, than incur the critical risks that haunt an avowedly serious work." To this caution of the author's, the translator must add another; these letters, as Mme Blavatsky says, were written in leisure moments, during 1879 and 1880, for the pages of the Russki Vyestnik, then edited by M. Katkoff. Mme. Blavatsky's manuscript was often incorrect; often obscure. The Russian compositors, though they did their best to render faithfully the Indian names and places, often produced, through their ignorance of Oriental tongues, forms which are strange, and sometimes unrecognizable. The proof-sheets were never corrected by the author, who was then in India; and, in consequence, it has been impossible to restore all the local and personal names to their proper form. A similar difficulty has arisen with reference to quotations and cited authorities, all of which have gone through a double process of refraction: first into Russian, then into English. The translator, also a Russian, and far from perfectly acquainted with English, cannot claim to possess the erudition necessary to verify and restore the many quotations to verbal accuracy; all that is hoped is that, by a careful rendering, the correct sense has been preserved. The translator begs the indulgence of English readers for all imperfections of style and language; in the words of the Sanskrit proverb: "Who is to be blamed, if success be not reached after due effort?" The translator's best thanks are due to Mr. John C. Staples, for valuable help in the early chapters.-London, July, 1892 CONTENTS Translator's Preface FROM THE CAVES AND JUNGLES OF HINDOSTAN In Bombay On The Way To Karli In The Karli Caves Vanished Glories A City Of The Dead Brahmanic Hospitalities A Witch's Den God's Warrior The Banns Of Marriage The Caves Of Bagh An Isle of Mystery Jubblepore

Esta obra distingue as principais linhas daReligião da Sabedoria, e expõe seus princípios fundamentais, contestando as váriasobjeções que possa fazer o ocidental sincero e tratando de apresentar conceitospouco familiares, na forma mais simples e em linguagem a mais clara possível.Acreditar que conseguiria jazer a Teosofia inteligível, sem esforço mental por partedo leitor, seria esperar demasiado; mas confiamos que a obscuridade que aindareina na obra ê devida ao pensamento profundo que lhe é intrínseca e não àlinguagem e à confusão. Para o homem de mente preguiçosa e para o obtuso, aTeosofia será um enigma; pois no mundo intelectual, assim como no espiritual, ohomem só progride por seus próprios esforços. O escritor não pode pensar peloleitor, e nem este tiraria qualquer proveito se isto fosse possível.

NØGLE TIL TEOSOFIEN er skrevet i 1889 af H.P. Blavatsky og indeholder ’spørgsmål & svar’.En nøgle er bestemt til at låse døre op med.For tusinder og atter tusinder af mennesker har teosofien været den nøgle, der har åbnet tankens og hjertets døre indad mod storslåede perspektiver af visdom og forståelse. Den har været nøglen til den oplyste ånds skatte, de kærlighedens og medfølelsens skatte, som, når de deles med andre, udgør den største af dem alle: Det universelle broderskab.Det er dog ikke tilstrækkeligt at få en sådan nøgle udleveret. For at kunne trænge ind til kundskabens hemmeligheder, åbne opfattelsens døre og frigøre medfølelsens juveler må man dreje nøglen i låsen.Hvis denne forkortede udgave af et tidløst, klassisk værk, Nøgle til Teosofien, kan opmuntre endnu flere studerende til at gøre forsøg på at åbne de døre, der fører til visdom – og bruge deres kundskab i menneskehedens tjeneste – har den opfyldt et nyttigt formål.

Kvindelige forfattere var i høj grad med til at forme gysergenren, da den voksede ud af den gotiske roman i slutningen af det 19. århundrede og for alvor tog form i starten af det 20. århundrede. Disse kvinder var ikke blot meget populære, om gyset så var deres foretrukne litterære felt eller ej, mange af dem vandt også stor anerkendelse i samtiden. De fortjener at blive husket på lige fod med de bedste mandlige forfattere inden for genren. Denne antologi er blevet til med det formål. De ni kvindelige forfattere i denne bog var alle markante kvinder, der på forskellig vis udfordrede tidens normer, kønsroller og seksualitet. Novellerne i denne samling er en buket af forskelligartede gys, og selvom et par af disse har mænd i hovedrollerne, så mærker man en anden tilgang til genren end hos de mere bombastiske mandlige gyserforfattere. Kvindernes tekster er ofte mere tvetydige, snigende og åndelige. Mange af novellerne har selvstændige og handlekraftige kvinder i hovedrollerne. Kvinder, der må klare sig selv i en barsk verden, hvor den stærke mand kun sjældent bruger sin magt til at beskytte dem. 'Døden og kvinden' indholder noveller af Mary Shelley, Virginia Woolf, Amelia Blandford Edwards, Gertrude Atherton, Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman, Edith Wharton, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky og Charlotte Riddell
