Life and Times of Rudolf Steiner, VOL.1: People & Places By Emil Bock

The Life and Times of Rudolf Steiner, Volume 1: People and Places examines the people and settings that shaped Steiner’s life. Emil Bock draws on his research to explore the breadth of influences around the founder of Anthroposophy, beginning with his youth and student years.

Subjects include the figure known as Felix the herb gatherer, Viennese social circles and coffee houses, Steiner’s encounter with Friedrich Nietzsche, and the literary and artistic world of Berlin. Translated by Lynda Hepburn, this is the first volume of Bock’s study, not the later combined edition or a two-volume set.
