The Ancient City

Numa Denis Fustel De Coulanges

Discover the ancient roots of classical civilization in this groundbreaking historical work. Fustel de Coulanges unlocks the secret to social developments in the ancient world with his insightful analysis of the Indo-European domestic cult. From pre-history to late antiquity, religion is shown to be the primary driving force behind the traditional social order. As the inaugural title in Imperium Press' Traditionalist Histories series, this work stands as a model for traditionalist writing, using primary sources and language and philology to provide a powerful foil to modern historiography. With a foreword by Dennis Bouvard, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand their own post-liberal social order.

Interesting books on culture and society I've read recently. I don't necessarily agree with any of them, but they're all useful and informative. -->      source
