Ambientado en las desoladas regiones del Ártico, el texto presenta la figura de un anciano enigmático —el "matusalén"— que encarna la memoria de un mundo antiguo y olvidado. A través de una atmósfera gélida y melancólica, Blavatsky explora temas como el paso del tiempo, la soledad del conocimiento, la decadencia de las civilizaciones y la permanencia del espíritu frente a la materia. El hielo y el silencio del paisaje polar funcionan como metáforas de la eternidad y del olvido, convirtiendo el relato en una meditación sobre la condición humana y los ciclos de la existencia.

An analysis of religious beliefs in general, this volume is in particular directed against theological Christianity, the chief opponent of free thought. It contains not one word against the pure teachings of Jesus, but unsparingly denounces their debasement into pernicious ecclesiastical systems that are ruinous to man's faith in his immortality and his God, and subversive of all moral restraint.

In the present age both Church and Science, the blindly-believing and the all-denying, are arrayed against the Secret Sciences, though Church and Science believed in and practised them - especially the Kabalah - at a not very distant period of history. One says now: “It is of the devil”! the other that the devil is a creation of the Church, and a disgraceful superstition ”in short that there is neither devil nor occult sciences. The first one forgets that it has publicly proclaimed, hardly 400 years ago, the Jewish Kabalah as the greatest witness to the truths of Christianity!

Madame Helena Blavatsky, in two introductory essays, offers students of Theosophical beliefs a wide-reaching and worldly outlook on the Ancient Mysteries. While demonstrating that much like Rosicrucian and Masonic philosophy, Theosophy has, at the heart of its doctrine, the concept of a Universal Brotherhood, she by no means forgets to include numerous Eastern influences, which help set apart the distinctive path of Theosophy, from other arenas of esoteric study...
