{"product_id":"9780972029285","title":"The Northern Dawn: A History of the Reawakening of the Germanic Spirit: From the Twilight of the Gods to the Sun at Midnight","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout the United States and Europe, a revival of interest in all things Germanic is taking place. This can be seen in the growth of pre-Christian religious movements, and in the much wider popularity of movies, novels, and television shows about the Viking Age. Just as other ethnicities show a healthy desire to reconnect with their indigenous past, the revival of Germanic culture appeals to people of European descent who feel cut off from their deepest ancestral roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut as Stephen Flowers argues in the pages of his far-reaching book, this is only the latest phase in a larger reawakening with a rich, if troubled, history. He defines what constitutes the Germanic Tradition, and explains how this tradition was fragmented and submerged with the coming of Christianity to the Goths, the Franks, the Anglo-Saxons, and the Scandinavians. More importantly, he shows how the northern spirit survived in myriad and sometimes surprising places: from literary works such as \u003cem\u003eB\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eeowulf \u003c\/em\u003eand the \u003cem\u003eNibelungenlied\u003c\/em\u003e, to the teachings of Christian mystics like Meister Eckhart, and in the religious, political, and legal institutions of medieval England, Iceland, and Scandinavia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first volume of a trilogy, \u003cem\u003eThe Northern Dawn\u003c\/em\u003e series will chronicle the ways in which the Germanic Tradition has shaped our history, how it still speaks to us today, and how it may yet help to forge a meaningful and promising future in the midst of an increasingly aimless and atomized world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcana Europa Media LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020573393136,"sku":"9780972029285","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780972029285_p0.jpg?v=1763885493","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780972029285","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
