In 1860 Prussia, Otto is busy raising his daughter and worrying about his wife, who is under the control of drugs. The common drugs in 1860 were opium and alcohol, along with new discoveries such as cocaine and morphium, and the tinctures and potions of the people. Otto's doctor sets out a way Otto can get Hildegard off the drugs, but before Otto can do anything, some awful things happen. Young girls are attacked on his estate, someone is stealing, and a man is murdered in bed. Who is doing the crimes? And why?

The actual historical moments of birth of the various arts are not known. At most, significant changes of direction are distinguishable – and these are usually detected retrospectively. However, the founding of eurythmy, a new art of movement, has been extensively documented. The story of the first eurythmist, Lory Maier-Smits, told in the pages of this profusely-illustrated book, is a valuable contribution to that legacy. It brings to life the pioneering period when the new artform was being developed under Rudolf Steiner’s personal instruction. Magdalene Siegloch traces Lory Maier-Smits’ biography with artistic care and loving detail. She describes the eurythmist’s early exposure to anthroposophy; her training under Rudolf Steiner from 1912; the first performance of eurythmy during the Theosophical Society festival in 1913; Rudolf Steiner’s lectures on the new art of movement; the staging of eurythmy under the direction of Marie Steiner; and Maier-Smits’ later work as a trainer of eurythmists. Also included is an account of Maier-Smits’ personal path of development, her marriage and family life.
