This book is one of the key works of Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925), the founder of anthroposophy. In it, he examines certain events in the life of man and humanity, for example, the development of a child in the first three years of life, the activities of the gods and heroes of antiquity, and the appearance of the Gospels. These phenomena indicate that man and humanity as a whole are under the guidance of spiritual beings. This book reveals the mystery of the two Jesus boys, the connection of Jesus with Christ, and describes the area in the leadership of humanity also of Luciferic and Ahrimanic beings. Published in Russian for the first time.
