The Ancient Family - Imperium Press (Studies in Reaction)

<p>The deepest and oldest layer of European religion is almost unknown today, and yet it governs all subsequent history. This is the Indo-European hearth cult, the subject of <em>The Ancient Family</em>. Here we get a picture of the most traditionalist, nationalist, patriarchal religion imaginable, of a people gathered around a sacred fire, worshipping its ancestors, jealous of its gods, and sufficient unto itself.</p><p>Taken from books I-II of Fustel's momentous work <em>The Ancient City</em>, this volume can be read as a constitution of the primordial family structure, the father of all that came after it. The <em>Studies in Reaction</em> series collects works that challenge modernity, and this family structure is the perfect antithesis of, and remedy for, all that ails us today.</p>
