About this Item

No date; circa 1945. Rare original material from Metamorphoses lectures of 1909-1910 translated into English by G. Metaxa. Jet black cloth boards, gilt impressed spine titles, light shelf wear, rub. Pages very good, clean; attractively toned. Bind fine, square; hinges intact. Rare original tan wrapper with cover and spine titles, moderate shelf wear, toning, spine chip; protected in new clear sleeve. Near fine original in near very good wrapper. Seven interesting and helpful lectues on the Mission of Anger, Truth, Religion, Devotion and Art; and on Egoism, Human Conscience and Human Character. The Lecture on Art starts from a study of the Greek Poets and leads to a description of the works of Dante, Shakespeare, and Goethe. Steiner presents a digestible, concise - brief though dense with insight - and unique treatise on the nature of the spiritual realm and the more ethereal beyond. One of Steiner's motivations for this material is to replace more and more the individual consultation between pupil and teacher by a directly objective course of direct spiritual teaching. And that in the course spiritual training, a complete and immediate connection with the objective spiritual world is made; more so than any relation to another individual as teacher. 222 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
