Rudolf Steiner and the Founding of the New Mysteries
Sergei O. Prokofieff
Translated from Russian by Paul King, with revisions and additions translated by Simon Blaxland de Lange

In the new Introduction, hitherto unpublished in English, Prokofieff describes the events in his life which led to his discovery of the work of Rudolf Steiner – then proscribed by the Bolshevik dictatorship – and how he came to write Rudolf Steiner and the Founding of the New Mysteries while living in Soviet Russia. The resulting book – an esoteric study of Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy, unprecedented in its depth and significance – was first published in Germany in 1982 and met with astonished acclaim.

In this revised and expanded edition of his now classic debut, Prokofieff investigates the deepest mysteries of Rudolf Steiner's life and individuality and his establishing of the new mysteries on earth in the twentieth century. He examines the earthly and supersensible aspects of the first Goetheanum, the implications of the Christmas Conference of 1923-24, and the Foundation Stone meditation which Rudolf Steiner left as a legacy to the Anthroposophical Society.
