Germania: A New Translation and Commentary

By: Tacitus, Cornelius

"You would not so easily persuade them to till the soil and await the harvest as to challenge the enemy and earn wounds. Slow and, truly, how dull it seems to earn by sweat what you can take with blood."

Here, in this stunning new text, Dr Charles Cornish-Dale (a.k.a. the Raw Egg Nationalist) provides a new translation and detailed commentary on perhaps the most consequential work of anthropology in history. The Germania, by Publius Cornelius Tacitus, describes the peoples of Germania Magna, beyond the Roman frontier of the Rhine and Danube rivers, peoples of savage but simple virtue-peoples Tacitus believed, rightly, posed a unique threat to the continuation of the great Pax Romana. In recent centuries, the Germania inspired the growth of Romantic German nationalism, leading the historian Arnoldo Momigliano to call it one of the most dangerous books of all time.
