Do ponto de vista geopolítico e histórico, a Europa é definida por suas fronteiras. O centro, o núcleo europeu, é formado de nações que, ainda que muitas vezes em conflito, tem experimentado uma história comum desde a Alta Idade Média. Read more …

The Unforeseen, the Chinese, & the Favorable Moment

Dominique Venner

The Trojan Horse: Detail of the neck relief on an early 7th century BCE earthenware amphora from Mykonos

743 words

Translated by Greg Johnson

Current events sometimes offer striking examples of the unforeseen. Last spring, we were all shocked by images of one of the great and powerful looking despondent, his wrists shackled, having suddenly fallen from his perch of impunity. By means of the media, spectators felt that they were following much more than a single news event. Read more …

Za novou aristokracii

Dominique Venner

Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Trioson (1767–1824), Apotheosis of the French Heroes Who Died for their Fatherland During the War for Liberty, 1802

692 words

English original here

Jejich jména vtiskla název mnoha bulvárům našeho výjimečného, avšak zohyzděného hlavního města: Berthier, Murat, Jourdan, Masséna, Soult, Brune, Bessieres a další. Napoleon svým dekretem ze 14. května 1804 jmenoval prvních čtrnáct císařských maršálů, aby k nim zanedlouho přidal dalších deset. S jejich jmény se stále setkáváme v mnohých obvodech dnešní Paříže, jež si dnes už jejich slávy takřka neváží. Read more …

“Indigenní”? Jak se jen opovažujete…

Dominique Venner

670 words

English original here

Není slepějšího člověka, než člověka který nechce vidět. Vzpomněl jsem si na toto přísloví nedávno, když jsem četl dlouhou veřejnou tirádu od klasického filologa na odpočinku. 1) Požívaje privilegovaného statusu ve Francii a také i ve Spojených státech, kde učil na renomované univerzitě, se tento dobrý profesor vysmíval označení zvolenému jeho krajany, kteří se označují za “původní” nebo také “autochtonní”.

Макіавеллі як європеєць

Dominique Venner

695 words

English original here

Навіть його власне ім’я повернулось проти нього. І дійсно, навряд чи хто втішатиметься епітетом «макіавеліанський». В уяві одразу вимальовуються тіні підступної та зрадливої жорстокості. Та все ж до написання свого найвідомішого та найскандальнішого твору – «Державець» Макіавеллі привела турбота про його батьківщину – Італію. Read more …

The Yogi & the Commissar

Dominique Venner

722 words

Translated by M. P.

Arthur Koestler, the author of Le zéro et l’infini (in English, Darkness at Noon), once played an important role in the Spanish Civil War as an agent of the Comintern. Through his writings, he set the tone of an anti-Francoist propaganda that has endured. Later, his deceptions made him an acute critic of Stalinism. Read more …

Can History Address the Problems of the Future?

Translated by Greg Johnson

Men have always felt the need to peer into the future. The Greeks asked the Pythia of Delphi. The obscurity of the oracle’s pronouncements lent them to multiple interpretations. Read more …

François Mitterrand & the French Mystery

Dominique Venner

924 words

Translated by Greg Johnson

In the center of all the questions raised by the sinuous and contradictory path of François Mitterrand is the famous photograph of the interview granted to a young unknown, the future socialist president of the Republic, by Marshall Philippe Pétain in Vichy, on October 15th, 1942. Read more …

Machiavelli the European

Dominique Venner

Niccolò Machiavelli by Santi di Tito: "I prefer my fatherland to my own soul."

838 words

Translated by Greg Johnson

Even his own name has been turned against him. Indeed it is hardly flattering to be described as “Machiavellian.” One immediately envisions a hint of cunning and treacherous violence. And yet what led Machiavelli to write his most famous and scandalous work, The Prince, was concern for his fatherland, Italy. Read more …

The Warrior & the City

Dominique Venner

714 words

Translated by Greg Johnson

In 1814, at the end of the Napoleonic wars, Benjamin Constant wrote with relief: “We have arrived at the age of commerce, the age that must necessarily replace that of war, as the age of war necessarily had to precede it.” Naïve Benjamin! He took up the very widespread idea of indefinite progress supporting the advent of peace between men and nations.

Dominique Venner

714 words

Part 2 of 3

Translated by Greg Johnson

The Internal Logic of “Soft Commerce”

Now that “soft commerce” has been globalized since the end of the 20th century, one must grant that it has the advantage of a plasticity and a capacity for survival enjoyed by few regimes up to the present.

Violence & “Soft Commerce,” Part 1

Dominique Venner

1,010 words

Translated by Greg Johnson

Part 1 of 3

Violence is not merely a matter of arms. For half a century, a world system has been imposed, the system of “soft commerce.” Soft as bombs. It dominates peoples under the guise of democracy, breaking down the most sacred customs. This new violence reigns thanks to the drugs of consumption and guilt. It is not, however, without resistance.

Pétain & De Gaulle:
Two Figures of a Tragic Destiny

Dominique Venner

855 words

Marshal Philippe Pétain, 1856–1951

Translated by Greg Johnson

Pétain, De Gaulle . . . Let us think for a moment about those personages from a far-off time.

First, what a astonishing destiny for Marshal Pétain! To have risen so high and fallen so low! In the long history of France, other great personages were admired, but surely none was loved more before being denigrated so much. Read more …
