Synopsis
Excerpt from The Tree of Heaven
AS he sat there in his immaculate evening dress, bronzed, youthful looking, presiding so quietly at the little dinner which he had given to us as a half formal, half-intimate leave-taking before he sailed, it seemed to us incredible that this man, now on his return journey to Trebizond via Lhassa, could be the beloved and dreaded arbiter of Asiatic poli tics - the one White man in all the Orient who had ever been Wholly respected, and absolutely feared by the temporal and spiritual heads of nations, religions, clans, and sects.
That, of course, he was what is popularly known as an adept, we supposed. What his Wisdom, his insight, his amazing knowledge Of the occult might include, we preferred, rather uncomfortably, not to conjecture.
There is, naturally, in all Of us a childlike de sire to hear of marvels; there is also a stronger and more childish desire to see miracles performed.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us into the world of a man who straddles two distinct realities: the familiar realm of high society and the captivating, yet often unsettling, world of the occult. A group of men, all friends of the author, gather for a farewell dinner as he departs for the East. As the evening progresses, the author reveals a profound understanding of the supernatural and shares insights into the lives of his friends that are both surprising and disturbing. He speaks of dreams, destinies, and the secrets that lie hidden in seemingly mundane objects like carpets. The authorââ â¢s exploration of the occult resonates with the prevailing interest in spiritualism and esoteric knowledge in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but he imbues these themes with a unique and often unsettling edge, exploring the dark side of fascination with the supernatural. The bookââ â¢s examination of fate, love, and the unseen forces that guide human lives is as captivating as it is thought-provoking. The author's intriguing use of symbolism and his masterful ability to weave a tale of suspense and intrigue will leave readers questioning the boundaries of reality and the unseen forces that may shape our lives.
