SUMMARY:The Knight\, Death\, and the Devil: A Reading from Venner
LOCATION:Walter Scott monument
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 18% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nPlease note that the venue is in the vicinity of the Scot
 t Monument and will be announced to RSVPing members closer to the event da
 te. We will NOT be meeting at the monument\, itself.\n\n.\n\nFor this even
 t\, we’ll look at selections from A Western Samurai: The Handbook of the U
 nbowed\, by the late French historian\, Dominique Venner.\n\nHe writes the
 re of\n\n“a kinship with a great rebel consigned to the ages\, but neglect
 ed today…Dürer’s Knight [from] The Knight\, Death\, and the Devil…a marvel
 ous woodcut print from 1513…\n\n“Made immortal by the woodcut\, the Knight
  will live forever in our people’s memory\, out of time. Alone\, with his 
 steady steed and his sword at his side\, the most famous [rebel] of Wester
 n art rides towards his fate\, traversing forests and the realms of our im
 agination\, without fear… He embodies an eternal type in this corner of th
 e world known as Europe.”\n\nVenner later reflects that\n\n“already the ea
 rly winds of what is to come make it necessary for Europeans to return to 
 themselves\, to the spirit of their spirit. This Handbook has the sole pur
 pose of accompanying and intensifying that necessity.\n\n“I am keenly awar
 e that much of what is essential in me I owe to my origins\; for this reas
 on\, I will always defend and uphold the fundamental right of all other hu
 mans to be sovereign over their own homelands and cultures—the right to be
  rooted in something that allows them to be themselves\, to be home\, and 
 not be nothing…\n\n“We are the first Europeans burdened with the duty of c
 ompletely rethinking our identity through a return to our most authentic s
 ources. The Antiquity we are invoking is not that of scholars. It is a liv
 ing Antiquity\, which it is our task to reinvent.”\n\nPlease join us for a
 n introduction to the work of Venner.\n\nFind the reading here: https://dr
