Newly revised, and now the first of at least two volumes of sorely needed Anthroposophical fiction: short stories geared to pique your curiosity and hold your attention. This book may be just the ticket for a better than average Fall experience.

You know, Anthroposophy is not known for fantastic literature, or fiction at all. So how can stories with titles like “Life on Mars,” or “The Girl in the Floppy Hat,” or “The Purloined Poem,” or “A Streetcar Named Karma” qualify as anthroposophical. They do not … until now! Therefore, this book is groundbreaking! You may smile at times, even laugh; other stories may cause a lump in your throat, perhaps even a tear or two. Fundamentalists are advised not to partake of this fantastical frosting on their anthroposophical cake.

Here, then, are thirteen provocative, groundbreaking, fictional tales for anthroposophists – and really anyone – to enjoy:

Reorganizing the Civilized World - Part I

"Navigate Complex Social Ideologies with Rudolf Steiner's Insightful Lectures." Discover the depth of social and economic relationships through Rudolf Steiner's compelling lectures delivered in Stuttgart in 1919. This collection, superbly translated and edited by Frank Thomas Smith, addresses critical viewpoints on socialism, the role of the state, and the interplay between economic and intellectual life. Steiner challenges prevailing notions and invites a reevaluation of societal structures, making this work essential for anyone interested in the dynamics of social change. Ideal for scholars, students, and thinkers, these lectures offer profound reflections that encourage a more thoughtful approach to modern challenges. Steiner also foretells of “Print On Demand” technology. Join the discourse on redefining societal progress with clarity and insight. The cover image is the painting entitled, "Workmen in the Snow" by Edvard Munch. Painting of Rudolf Steiner on the back cover is by Peter Gospodinov.

These two lectures were given in the latter days of April 1919 at Stuttgart, Germany, and are the first two lectures of 14 total lectures that comprise Bn/GA/CW 330. They have never before been translated into English. This is a first edition printing. The "Appeal" is a part of Bn/GA/CW 23 and has been included in this volume for ease of reference.

Now available, here is a fascinating book that anyone will enjoy:

Told from the perspective of the artist Margarita Woloschin, this is a first-hand account of her privileged upbringing in Russia and her subsequent life. In lyrical, evocative prose, she relates her vivid recollections of Moscow and rural Russia at the end of the nineteenth century, as well as her meetings with the Russian intellectual elite, including Tolstoy, and the impressions they made upon her. Woloschin also describes her extensive travels throughout Europe and her marriage to the journalist-poet Max Voloshin.

Woloschin recounts, too, her part in the introduction of anthroposophy into Russia, her involvement in the construction of the original Goetheanum in Dornach. The author’s narrative is interspersed with her personal memories of Rudolf Steiner and the struggle for meaning in her turbulent life.

Set against the background of the approaching Bolshevik Revolution, this haunting, historical memoir is witness to a fascinating and inspirational life.

Just Published at AnthroPubs:
The Roman Catholic Church / La Iglesia Católica Romana
Three Lectures given by Rudolf Steiner / Tres conferencias dictadas por Rudolf Steiner
In the Spring of 1920 Rudolf Steiner gave three lectures highly critical of the Roman Catholic Church’s political history. The lectures were meant for members of the Anthroposophical Society only, but were soon leaked beyond the Society, resulting in some very bad feelings and even violence in the heavily Catholic Swiss district where Dornach is located. The lectures were transcribed from stenographic notes into German, and are included in a series of seventeen lectures entitled: Heilfaktoren für den Sozialen Organismus (Means for Healing the Social Organism). This book contains English and Spanish translations of these three important lectures.

En la primavera de 1920, Rudolf Steiner dio tres conferencias muy críticas sobre la historia política de la Iglesia Católica Romana, dirigidas exclusivamente a los miembros de la Sociedad Antroposófica. Pronto, sin embargo, su contenido se filtró fuera de la Sociedad y causó gran animosidad, e incluso reacciones violentas, en la región predominantemente católica de Suiza en la que se sitúa Dornach. Estas conferencias fueron transcriptas de las notas estenográficas en alemán, y se encuentran incluidas en un ciclo de diecisiete conferencias titulado Heilfaktoren für den Sozialen Organismus (Medios para sanar el organismo social). En el presente libro, aparecen traducidas al inglés y al español.

Note: there is speculation on some folks part that these three lectures were the impetus for the burning down of the First Goetheanum, and, perhaps, Steiner's death. Read them and come to your own conclusions.

Don't forget, Free Shipping within the continental USA ... the eBook is also available worldwide and has no shipping charges! ("Hey Jim, I don't like to read things on the small screen!" The answer is that there is a PDF version of the eBook available that is printable!)

In light of the 'literal' and AI-generated translations of the works of Rudolf Steiner that are floating around, I feel a need to post the Translation Policy from the AnthroPubs website:
We pledge that the translations we offer have been provided by real human beings, many prominent in the Anthroposophical movement for decades. These are NOT ‘literal’ or AI-generated translations without human review. There are a number of problems inherent in those translation methods:
1. Nuances are missed, especially in the case of older documents containing archaic abbreviations, word usage, and concepts that can easily be misinterpreted.
2. Grammatical constructions, such as the ordering of clauses in sentences, are not untangled.
3. Using the most common meaning of a term, unable to recognize reasonable context. For example, in a Rudolf Steiner lecture concerning the characteristics of genius, the literal translation was “In Faust, Goethe portrayed the genial personality” rather than “In Faust, Goethe portrayed him with the personality of a genius.”
The works of Rudolf Steiner present special challenges, similar to the difficulty in translating poetry:
1. Subtle nuances are critical to understanding Steiner's complicated philosophical ideas.
2. Steiner often coined new words to express novel ideas.
3. Knowledge of events and individuals Steiner refers to is necessary to correctly interpret the concepts and terminology.
We prefer not to aid and abet ahrimanic materialism.
