In 1828, a young boy was discovered on the streets of Nuremberg. In his hand he clutched a letter, directing him to some local stables where he was intended to work. This young man, Kaspar Hauser, who could barely write his name and could speak only a few words, was soon to become an international phenomenon—the "child of Europe."
In this seminal work, Peter Tradowsky addresses the mysteries surrounding Kaspar’s life, using the insights of Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual science as his guide. His analysis delves deeply into the esoteric significance of the individual incarnated as Kaspar Hauser.
Here is a fresh, in-depth look at one of the great mysteries of modern European history.
