Rudolf Steiner

Tight, square spine has some cosmetic creasing. Interior is clean and unmarked except for two pages (241 and 243), which have some notes in ink, as well as a newsprint stain. Light to moderate shelf-wear to the covers, but a decent copy overall. Fantastic David Pelham–meets–Henry Darger cover art, credited to Susan Cobin Stern: a great example of the work being done during the Bernie Garber–helmed era of the anthroposophic publisher. 'Steiner shows that the insoluble link between humanity and cosmos is the fundamental basis of evolution,' writes Quaker-raised writer, actor, publisher, and (according to Russell Pooler) the 'first American-born anthroposophic lecturer,' Paul Marshall Allen in his intro. Translated by linguist Karl E. Zimmer, who throughout his life, assembled a collection of Walfischgedichte—or Whale Poems—and who requested that his ashes be scattered at sea, where, in his widow Ronelle Alexander's words, 'one of his beloved whales might chance to swim by.'
