Runes and the ori­gins of writ­ing
In this wide-rang­ing yet con­cise study, Alain de Benoist brings his inci­sive intel­li­gence and wide eru­di­tion to bear on the fierce­ly debat­ed sub­ject of the mys­te­ri­ous ori­gin and prac­ti­cal and mag­i­cal func­tions of runes, pro­vid­ing the read­er with a thor­ough ground­ing in the poten­tial ori­gin points and evo­lu­tions of the Fuþark.
Runes and the Ori­gins of Writ­ing car­ries its read­er on an archae­o­log­i­cal and anthro­po­log­i­cal jour­ney through an enig­mat­ic past, giv­ing to lay­man and aca­d­e­m­ic alike unique insight into the his­to­ry of this archa­ic script, and oth­ers like it.

Writ­ing the north of the north: con­struc­tion of images, con­fronta­tion of real­i­ty and loca­tion in the lit­er­ary field
The expres­sion “North of the North” refers both to an objec­tive, geo­graph­i­cal real­i­ty – the ter­ri­to­ries sit­u­at­ed at the high­est lat­i­tudes on our plan­et – and to a sub­jec­tive, men­tal con­struc­tion which came into being many cen­turies ago and has been devel­oped, mod­i­fied and dif­fer­en­ti­at­ed ever since. The chap­ters in the present vol­ume exam­ine var­i­ous aspects of that con­cept, analysing texts and works of art from a range of regions and peri­ods.
