Samurai of the West

Samurai of the West is the monumental last testament of Dominique Venner, whose adventurous life and many-faceted works championed the cause of a European renaissance with a style and breadth like no other.

A Unique Handbook and Breviary

Presented in the unique form of a meditative handbook and breviary, Samurai of the West brings together:

• Deep readings of ancient and medieval literature
• Excursions into forgotten history
• Practical advice for upholding one’s bearings in the throes of the modern West

A Call to Reignite the European Spirit

Against the tides of:

• Mass immigration
• Consumerist pseudo-culture
• Geopolitical captivity

...that have debased Europe over the past century, Venner summons today’s Europeans to return to our civilization’s foundational sources and rediscover the enduring wisdom and ethos of our ancestors.

Connecting Past and Present

From the epics of Homer to today’s pressing issues, Venner shows how the existential heights and depths of European thought, art, and action can become a part of our everyday life anew.
