The Editors
Russian theosophist Olga Fedorova, an associate of the Independent Lodge of Theosophists based in the Moscow metropolitan area, has translated Carlos Cardoso Aveline’s book, “The Fire and Light of Theosophical Literature”, into Russian.
The work was originally published in Portugal by The Aquarian Theosophist in 2013. Its new Russian edition – Огонь и свет теософской литературы – was released in paperback in March 2026 and spans 264 pages.
The book mounts a powerful defense of authentic Theosophy against the threats of pseudo-esotericism.
An experienced literary translator, Fedorova has spent years translating and publishing the Independent Lodge’s texts online for readers in Helena Blavatsky’s homeland. Her selfless and highly efficient dedication to theosophical work has already brought several translations of theosophical classics to print.
The paperback edition of “The Fire and Light” can be purchased directly from the Amrita Publishing House website:
