			* '''''The Land of the Gods: The Long-Hidden Story of Visiting the Masters of Wisdom in Shambhala''''', published by Radiant Books in 2022, is a reissued edition of Franz Hartmann’s 1887 work '''''An Adventure among the Rosicrucians''''', though it has been incorrectly attributed to [[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky]]. The original text, authored by Hartmann — a German physician and mystic affiliated with the Theosophical movement — narrates the experiences of a spiritual seeker who, during travels in southern Bavaria, enters a visionary state and encounters Rosicrucian adepts within the esoteric domain of Shambhala. Blavatsky herself reviewed Hartmann’s original book in her journal Lucifer, praising its esoteric insights and identifying Hartmann as a “Student of Occultism.” See [https://www.theosophical.org/publications/quest-magazine/book-review/the-land-of-the-gods-the-long-hidden-story-of-visiting-the-masters-of-wisdom-in-shambhala this book review] and [https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/100868320 Hathitrust for Hartmann's book].

 [[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky]] was a prolific and skillful writer in English, French, and Russian. Her Theosophical works were produced first in English, and later translated by other people into many languages. Most of the Russian writing was travel stories and occult tales for popular consumption. Her contract to provide material to the publisher Katkoff was her principal source of income in the early 1880s.
