Stories, Poems and Meditations cover

Alongside his work with the Camphill movement, Karl König was a prolific writer of stories, poems and meditative verses. This book contains:

-- A selection of his creative work
-- Verses for specific occasions
-- Twenty-four poems
-- Four stories for children
-- Ten other short stories, including ‘Also a Christmas Story’

An extensive introductory essay explores the cultural environments in which König was writing -- including Vienna in the early twentieth century, and the challenging times leading up to the Second World War -- and discusses the creative development of his literary work.

'There is much beauty in these meditative verses, and the profound sense for esoteric Christianity and the penetration of Rudolf Steiner’s anthroposophy sounds through these especially, sometimes in pure intimacy, sometimes loud and clear.
I would warmly like to recommended this book for all readers, not just for those familiar with the subject. '
