O knihe
In 1909, the Champlain and Hudson Valleys-and America and the world
along with them-celebrated the 300th anniversary of European "discovery"
of these regions. Marking America's entry onto the world stage, the 1909
commemorations' parades, pageants, speeches and other spectacles prophetically
mapped the nation's 20th century course toward empire.
In the same year, the Austrian esoteric teacher Rudolf Steiner prophetically
envisioned a very different American and world destiny, one whose culmination
comes in 2009, the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain and Henry
Hudson's fateful landings.
Focusing its historical gaze on Burlington, Vermont and Manhattan, A Short
Story of American Destiny, 1909-2009 is an unsettling, surprising look at a
small set of past events with profound implications for our present moment.
