Scarce play by the later head of the Anthroposophical Society this has direct references to the Titanic tragedy. 122 4 pp adverts "At first glance this may seem one of the more peculiar entries in the Titanic fiction canon particularly as the opening scene takes place in an Egyptian tomb. However Steffen was a leading anthroposophist an exponent of 'spiritual science' so it's no surprise that he was drawn to Titanic as a case study for his faith and philosophy. His concerns regarding man's technological achievements flying in the face of God are perfectly illustrated by through the story of 'the ship that God himself could not sink'. The play uses a heavily mythologised Titanic combined with the often repeated Titanic myth of the 'mummy's curse' as a vehicle for expounding anthroposophy. The play starts in the tomb of Princess Amen Ra and continues with constant allusions to Egyptian mythology with some characters see their lives paralleling incidents from the mythos of Horus and Isis. There's no representation of historical Titanic for Titanic's importance in this work is a metaphor and recognisable symbol of hubris. The mostly unnamed dramatis personae represent archetypes rather than historical figures: Navigation Officer First Stoker The Millionaire The Line Owner etc. From Titanic's true story only Captain Smith is named but Steffen's Captain Smith is not the Captain EJ Smith of history. Presiding over deep spiritual and philosophical discussions in the stokehold is the curiously Luddite engineer ironically named Ohm who was with the party in Egypt and resurfaces as one of Titanic's principal engineers/electricians. There's also a simplistic representation of the class struggle through use of the archetype of deserving poor against the idle rich highlighted by the death of valiant immigrant/stoker Wronski trying to get his wife and child onto a lifeboat that is dedicated to saving the millionaires' gold. Steffen's philosophy religion and politics are in no doubt throughout the play.themes include the idea of journey as an awakening with the Egyptologist's son and daughter-in-law who lost their own child in Egypt rediscovering a purpose to life in rearing the orphaned Wronski baby and the Director of the shipping line declaring he will now build 'spiritual lifeboats'. Then there's resurrection as illustrated in the use of Princess Amen Ra's casket as a 'lifeboat' that saves the Wronski baby with some help from Engineer Ohm swimming behind. The play ends on Carpathia with the surviving cast proclaiming their sea change their 'voyage to the other land' ". First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7 - 9 tall.
