جزییات کتاب
In Western Civilization Bites Back, the late Jonathan Bowden argues that the ultimate root of Western decline is a collapse in moral self-confidence. But the West can recover its pride, glory, and destiny. Through wide-ranging discussions of such figures as Aeschylus, Shakespeare, and Nietzsche -- as well as Marxism, the New Left, the holocaust, flimmaker Hans-Jürgen Syberberg, and novelist Bill Hopkins -- Bowden explores the necessary conditions of a moral, racial, and cultural rebirth of the West.
With transcripts of seven of Bowden's volcanic orations, plus his last interview, Western Civilization Bites Back is an ideal introduction to one of the leading voices of the Anglophone New Right.
Advance Praise for Western Civilization Bites Back:
“Anyone who experienced Jonathan Bowden speak in public was in awe of his ability to thrill and inspire his audiences. His energy and personal magnetism were truly amazing and a huge asset to our cause. In reading these essays, most of which are transcriptions from his talks, one is also impressed by his very broad intellectual background and his far-ranging interests—art, literature, philosophy, music, and politics. I am also very impressed by his ability to get to the heart of the predicament that we Europeans face—in particular the guilt that so many of us have, to the point that the great majority of us feel morally condemned for simply asserting our absolutely normal and legitimate interests in controlling societies we have established and dominated for hundreds and, in the case of Europe, many thousands of years. He is sorely missed.”
—Kevin MacDonald, author of The Culture of Critique
“Jonathan Bowden’s Western Civilization Bites Back is a short manual to culture warfare, a kind of a vade mecum for the uninitiated who still remain dazed by the mendacity of the System. Bowden understands that beyond intellectual critique, we need to muster up a bit of civic courage in order to dislodge Leftist cultural hegemony. This is a solid contribution to the fight against the Big Lie.”
—Tom Sunić, author Against Democracy and Equality
“Western Civilization Bites Back shows that Jonathan Bowden, like no other, could extemporate orations on a wide range of cultural subjects, combining intellectual content and with a face-shredding delivery. To be present at one of them was to be hypnotized for the duration. He had the ability to reach people from all walks of life, so that both the man of the brain and the man of the heart came out of his presentations in some way enlightened and emotionally gratified, knowing what it was all about, how they needed to feel about it, and ready, in fact, to pick up the battle-axe and charge, roaring like a berserker in a dance of severed limbs and rolling heads. Beyond his searing, cruel, pitiless, and humorous critiques of liberal modernity (for no one could make egalitarians sound as ridiculous as he could), there was always vitality and optimism—a glimpse of what could be, if one dared.”
—Alex Kurtagić, author of Mister
