Chiildren of the Sun

Children of the Sun

by Gordon Kennedy

In the history of the revival of archaic Germanic ideas one chapter has rarely been written about the world of the Lebensreformer  the "reformers of  life." These reformers often drew on the ancient Germanic past for inspiration.  They promoted a natural philosophy emphasizing vegetarianism, nudism, natural  medicine. This beautiful book, with many color prints from the hand of the  artist Meister Fidus, illustrates the spirit of this movement which provides a  balance to the more hard-edged, even militaristic spirit often found in the  revival movement of the late 19th and early 20th century. This book makes an ideal  gift for those who think the Germanic movement is, and always was, about  right-wing extremism. It balances the picture of what the movement was really all  about in the years before WWII.  For the first time the author of this book  shows that the "hippie” movement of the 1960s has a direct connection to the  19th century German Reformbewegung.
