About the book: 1914 / Selected chapters of the world-famous book by Eduard Shure tell about the life paths, destinies, worldviews and revelations of the Great spiritual teachers who visited the Earth. Hermes, Moses, Orpheus, Pythagoras, Jesus Christ will pass in front of us... The author describes legends and myths, details of everyday life, subtleties of worldview and thoughts of followers. The main idea, running like a red thread through the entire book, is that at all times, in all eras, there is an irresistible craving of humanity for the undying light of the Great Soul. Eduard Shure managed to “herald the dawn of the great engaged Light” so inspiredly and convincingly that the text of the book has not lost its relevance at the present time. The book is illustrated with works of world painting.
