According to his account, the young boy spent most of his life confined in a darkened space. Unable to stand up, and with no knowledge of his captors, he was fed a diet of bread and water. Eventually released from this macabre prison, he survived an assassination attempt only to be stabbed to death in 1833.<\/p>\n<p>Why was a child kept in such squalid circumstances? Who were his parents? Who was responsible for such a cruel attack on childhood? Who murdered him? In this seminal work Peter Tradowsky addresses these questions through the insights of Anthroposophy. His analysis reveals some of the secrets of Kaspar Hauser&#8217;s short life, and the occult significance of his incarnation, spiritual nature and individuality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C O N T E N T S<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Foreword<br \/>\nIntroducion<\/p>\n<p>1.
