We have comfort, knowledge, wealth. But our cities are crumbling, and our ancient homelands are not what they used to be. The worst rule the best. Money has become the exclusive standard of all value. Our historical memory is attacked and its symbols destroyed. Under the trappings of "democracy", we are not free. The causes go back a long way. But history never stands still. The time has come for the Europeans and their brothers, the Amerikaners, to awaken and free themselves. How? Certainly not by retracing the steps that have led us here. We share a rich hidden Tradition, going all the way back to Homer, the repository of all the values we need for our future rebirth. Faced with the emptiness around us, the insane voracity of the financial oligarchs, the threat of an ethnic war on our soil, this "Handbook" sets out to awaken our memory, and allow us to think differently and rebuild our lives, our communities, and eventually our nations, out of fidelity to a higher vision.
This is the spiritual testament of a man who gave his life for the sake of this great awakening--before the hour grows too late. This edition brings the text, suppressed in France and until now unavailable, to the community of all English-speaking lovers of civilization.
"This Handbook was written by a European for Europeans, or Hyperboreans, as Nietzsche would have put it. Others, coming from other peoples, other cultures, other civilizations, will be able to read it, of course, but only out of intellectual curiosity. Because for the Europeans, sons of the different peoples of the great Borean homeland [including European-Americans, European-Australians, and so on], this book is a bit about their particular destiny in the universe."
Dominique Venner
