Jean Henry Vignaud, né à La Nouvelle-Orléans (Louisiane) le 27 novembre 1830 et mort à Bagneux le 19 septembre 1922, était un écrivain, journaliste et historien américain de langue française, issu d’une famille du midi de la France.

Professeur de langue française à La Nouvelle-Orléans entre 1852 et 1856, il se lança ensuite dans le journalisme et le théâtre.
Lors de la guerre de Sécession, il fut capitaine du régiment louisianais de l'armée confédérée. Fait prisonnier en 1862, il s'évada et se réfugia à Paris, où il s'installa définitivement. Il reprit sa plume de journaliste.

Il occupa par la suite des postes auprès de délégations des États-Unis en France, et fut premier secrétaire de la Légation des États-Unis de 1882 à 1909. En 1908, il devint président de la Société des Américanistes, et put se consacrer à sa passion : l'étude de Christophe Colomb et de la découverte des Amériques.

Richard Tedor - Hitler's revolution
Ideology, social programs, foreign affairs


Defying liberal democracy, Adolf Hitler transformed Germany into an authoritarian state advocating sovereignty of nations, advancement of labor, preservation of the white race, and commerce based on exchange of wares to replace the international gold standard. Becoming chancellor in 1933, he tackled his country s bankruptcy, massive unemployment, Communist subversion and foreign domination.
His social economic programs and diplomacy restored German prosperity and independence in three years, despite opposition from Western democratic leaders.

Penetrating the shroud of vilification draping this controversial figure, our study draws on nearly 200 published German sources, many from the National Socialist era, plus documents from British, U.S. and Soviet archives, to describe not just what Hitler did, but why. It also reveals democracy s genuine war aims, a taboo subject for historians, in the ensuing world war against Germany. Challenging the status quo version of the period, here is the book for the student of history who senses that something is missing and seeks answers.

Michael Grant - The birth of Western civilization
Greece and Rome


Introduction
The tradition that holds us in thrall

Michael Grant
Without Greece and Rome, for better or for worse-and almost certainly, despite all our faults, for worse-we should not be what we are. Their significances crowd in upon us with an insistence that is far too many-sided and complex to be satisfied by simple metaphorical phrases indicating the debt, legacy or heritage that we owe to these sources.
For one thing the influences which, whether we like it or not, hold us in thrall have reached us in many different times and ways, and at every level of consciousness and profundity. In some matters-the classical contribution in the political field, or certain central aspects of the messages of Virgil or Cicero-impingement on the world has been continuous, so that a direct chain of inheritance can be traced all the way through the intervening centuries until the present moment. And yet, even in such basic themes, there have also at many periods been revivals that are due in a larger degree to intentional resuscitation than to the bonds of continuity. When Cola di Rienzi, in the 14th century, tried to restore the antique Roman Republic, this was not only because he was heir to a continuous tradition (though he had the stones of Rome to remind him of this) but because he had 'rediscovered' Livy. Others-Petrarch is perhaps the most famous of themhave often made similar rediscoveries of ancient authors : which really means that they cast the contemporary spotlight upon some part of the almost inexhaustible store, and reinterpreted it in the light of topical preoccupations.

Ignacio Ondargáin - La tradición hiperbórea


La historia se convirtió en leyenda y la leyenda en mito
Sabemos que este estudio se centra en una cuestión que origina posiciones crispadas y enfrentadas las más de las veces. Si nos-otros también adoptáramos esa actitud, se nos haría imposible hacer algo serio y sincero: nunca llegaríamos a liberarnos de la perversa dinámica con que es enfocado el tema. Tratando de ser fieles al conocimiento, nuestra intención no ha sido pintar la realidad de uno u otro color. Hemos acumulado, ordenado y expuesto datos tratando de hacerlo de una forma clara y esquemática. El misterio deja de ser misterioso cuando llega a conocerse. En fin, este es tan sólo un trabajo que en principio lo hice para mí mismo, para aclararme yo mismo de qué iba todo esto y que ahora, “con la ayuda del hado”, lo pongo a disposición de todos vosotros. Sé que, en el fondo, todo este misterio no consiste más que en “recordar” algo que había quedado como olvidado junto a una fuente... y ese “algo”, o alguien, siempre supo que volveríamos cuando la sed mortal provocada por este mundo inerte de “muertos que entierran a muertos”, se nos hiciera insoportable... Siempre ha sido así y por esto mismo tiene tanta importancia el mito: viaje al centro de la tierra donde, de las entrañas de la Montaña Polar de la Revelación, surge la fuente de agua pura de la vida eterna.

Empezaremos situándonos en los mágicos imperios perdidos del pasado y trataremos de recuperar sus tesoros y sus secretos, en definitiva: resucitar el mito. En aquel remoto pasado olvidado e ignorado por el común de los mortales, hallamos el “primer poder temporal”. Era aquella una tierra habitada por seres superiores que participaban de la divinidad, dioses que mediante su virtud y su poder dominaron la tierra, transformándola y levantando hermosos imperios con realizaciones increíblemente audaces. La belleza interna y externa y la justicia, en tanto que reflejo esta de la claridad de discernimiento, gobernaba el mundo. La salud y la armonía de formas de mente y cuerpo les confería a estos seres superiores nobleza, haciéndoles su vida en este mundo algo digno de ser vivido con alegría y firmeza, en el conocimiento de la verdadera naturaleza de las cosas. Aquello que eran ellos mismos en esencia y en su naturaleza física, era lo que obraban en el mundo, como un reflejo.

Un reino de dioses regido por la belleza, la justicia... un sistema perfecto... o casi perfecto. Pero todo aquel mundo, un día, en una sola noche, desapareció, dejándonos tan sólo ruinas imposibles y leyendas fantásticas... y el manto putrefacto de la muerte extendió su pobredumbre por el mundo ocultando la verdadera luz a los ojos de los hombres mortales: muertos que entierran muertos.

Dice Jean Robin en “Operación Orth” que “el primer poder temporal cuyo espíritu se ha perpetuado secretamente en el tiempo, cuyo “cuerpo” ha permanecido oculto en las cavernas de la tierra, ascenderá en los últimos días para recuperar su poder y maravillar al mundo con su mágica resurrección”. Cuando el mundo divino desaparece de la tierra, viene a convertirse en un “tiempo mítico” que, en palabras de René Alleau, fluye paralelamente al tiempo histórico, pero a un ritmo diferente. A lo largo de los milenios, han habido múltiples ocasiones en las que el tiempo mítico de los dioses ha venido a manifestarse y actuar sobre nuestro plano de la existencia. De hecho, en el fondo, todo lo que aquí contamos trata de la continua reaparición de este poder oculto en la historia de los hombres mortales. Creemos poder afirmar que precisamente esto es el nazismo. Vamos a verlo.

David Talbot Rice - The dawn of European civilization Volume 3
The dark ages


Between the end of the Western Roman Empire and the emergence of medieval Europe, western civilization passed through the most serious crisis of which we have historical record. The effect of the barbarian invasions can only be compared with that of an atomic war on the modern world. It was more gradual but no less catastrophic. No full-scale illustrated survey of this period, from 500 to 1000 a.d., has ever been attempted, and for good reason. For those five centuries are called the "Dark Ages’ - dark to the men and women who lived through them. Modern research, especially in archaeology, had virtually no records from which to piece together the complex story of those times.

The Haunting Art of an Age in Turmoil
This vivid, authentic book truly reconstructs the dawn of European civilization as we know it. It is divided into four main sections. The first gives the background of events in Asia and Africa, where the flowing tide of Islam was washing against the frontiers of the West. The second deals with Byzantium - a rich and glorious state whose traditions, wealth and art were of paramount importance. The third describes the migrating tribes from the north and east who were reshaping Europe - the Slavs, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Lombards, Franks, Norsemen, Angles and Saxons. The distinctive character of these peoples is vividly expressed in their brilliant art, much of which is here presented in color for the first time. The last section shows the threads that were gathered together by Charlemagne and his successors, and the achievement of a new stability based firmly on feudalism and Christianity.

Each of the fifteen chapters is written by an acknowledged authority. It is a book which no single man could have written. And as in the other volumes of this series, the illustrations are unsurpassed in range, interest and quality. Besides the well-known masterpieces of Byzantine and Caro-lingian art, many less familiar works are included. Careful reconstructions have been specially commissioned (on large fold-out pages), and there are numerous maps, plans, chronological charts and family trees. The editor is Professor David Talbot Rice, a famous scholar whose gifts as a writer and lecturer have won him a popularity far beyond the academic world. This volume, the result of three years’ preparation, now brilliantly illuminates a vital phase in the history of mankind.

About the cover
In the year 1000 Otto III had Charlemagne's remains disinterred and put in reliquaries. The magnificent reliquary shown on the cover was made about 1350 to hold the Holy Emperor's skull. No claim is made that it is an authentic likeness but it does poiverfully express the impact that the great emperor had made upon the imagination of succeeding ages.
