Speaking during the early stages of the First World War - with the Western Front just miles away and thousands of young men dying - Rudolf Steiner focuses on the subject of death. In particular, he addresses the difficult question of why some people die prematurely, particularly in youth. Steiner also speaks of the deaths of three of his acquaintances, having made contact with their living souls in the afterlife. He voices their own words and describes the first stages of their journeys after death. Rudolf Steiner strikes a second chord with the description of the task of Central Europe in the context of the various 'Folk-souls'.

These extraordinary lectures, previously unpublished in English, are presented here with an introduction, notes and an index.
