Overview

The fjords of Norway create an enchanting setting for this story. Seraphita is an angel, both half-man and half-woman. The metaphysical plot involves two mortals who are in love with Seraphita, but the angel is in the last days of life and beyond earthly love. This novel is part of Balzac's La Comedie Humaine.

Synopsis

1835. Written by a Rosicrucian adept, this fantastic tale is a masterful work of occult teachings. Not written for the masses, Seraphita was for those few lofty spirits who could discern Jacobs mystical stair.
