Zanoni: The Rosicrucian Tale is a story of the Long Livers by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Signet IL Y' Viavia: DANIEL- Annotated Foreign Text translated Illustrated (Color Collectors Edition) We have also included a revised edition of Zanoni A Rosicrucian Tale first published in 1842 with new annotations and translations of foreign text with over 60 new illustrations - It includes new additional annotations and translations for the Italian, Latin and French from the original editions, . and is edited for modern English to help clarify meaning and identifies the background material of significance for particular characters, events and place names. Introducing the Story of the Long Livers provides new insight into the history touching on what exists of a vast unpublished history into the unknown lives of the Mahatmas, called the Long-Livers (once members of the Prince Favorites of Sir Francis Bacon) and the Intelligence network founded by Anthony Bacon thus offering a unique literary critique of the historical significance of the characters written into the Zanoni story as well as offering a fresh insight into the background of Bulwer-Lytton who is said to have died January 18, 1873 and his relationship he had with these Rosicrucian Long-Livers or Mahatmas known to Freemasonry and Theosophy in the inner circle of the Rosicrucian Fraternity or the Secret Chief's or founders. Truth will come spilling out and that proceeds faster than it can be written, but Zanoni is a vast subject that should not be taken as a fantasy, a legend or even an allegory. We pretend to tell the story lightly. The true Rosicrucian unknown, in league with the founding of governments and institutions were there to support the coming of the Golden Age of Man. This work entitled: Zanoni, A Rosicrucian Tale; is a story of the legendary "Long-Livers," a story about the Great Souls or Mahatmas in the evolution of the supreme light of God in Man.
