Originally published in 1888 as "The Aryans," this book is a beautifully-written cultural history of the Indo-European peoples. The author admits that there was no "Aryan race" per se, but only a family of Indo-European language speakers who had a common origin. This engrossing book covers all Indo-European speakers from Ireland through to Afghanistan. It includes the development of ancient Indo-European households, farming arrangements, legal systems, culture, religion, language and political development. Read of the tales from the Rig-Vedas, their similarity to the Greek and Roman myths, and the parallels with the Norse Edda and even Cuchulainn in Ireland. A treasure-trove of facts, myths and storytelling, ending with a prognosis of future racial development. Written in a time of European supremacy, the author's predictions have been reversed, but contain the lesson of the futility of "white supremacy" and that the only path to racial preservation lies in separation, not rule over others.
