First published in 1877, Isis Unveiled is Blavatsky’s foundational work and a cornerstone of modern Theosophy. Subtitled “A Master-Key to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern Science and Theology,” it attempts to reconcile religion, science, and occult philosophy through a sweeping critique of materialism and dogmatic Christianity. This facsimile preserves the typography and layout of the rare first edition, offering the full original text in a durable single-volume format long favored by students of Theosophy.
