Torino: Lindau 2018. Traduzione di Rezzi A. Torino 2018; br. pp. 535 ill. b/n. I Leoni. Nel 1935 Heinrich Himmler uno degli uomini pi� potenti del regime nazista fond� l'Ahnenerbe un istituto di ricerca che aveva lo scopo di identificare le origini remote della "razza" germanica. Dopo aver reclutato una bizzarra schiera di avventurieri mistici e studiosi rispettabili e mentre gi� la guerra incombeva Himmler progett� e finanzi� lunghe e costose missioni in paesi come l'Iraq la Finlandia e il Tibet per riscrivere la storia del genere umano. Il capo delle SS l'uomo che aveva architettato i campi di sterminio era infatti convinto che gli archeologi ignorassero da troppo tempo le doti e le gesta di un antico popolo di conquistatori dai capelli biondi e dagli occhi azzurri gli ariani. Riteneva che gli antenati del popolo tedesco fossero comparsi nelle aride terre dell'Artico e l� si fossero evoluti in un invincibile razza dominatrice. Ed era fermamente persuaso che nel XX secolo restassero tracce del loro sangue solo in alcune parti del mondo: l'identificazione degli ariani autentici e l'annichilimento di tutti gli altri sarebbero diventate le pietre angolari del Reich millenario.

Owner's ID lightly embossed on flypage otherwise unmarked.For those who thought the zealous Nazi archaeologists in Raiders of the Lost Ark were a screenwriter's fabrication journalist Heather Pringle has the chilling real story. In 1935 Heinrich Himmler--chief of the SS and architect of the death camps--founded the Ahnenerbe a research institute that manufactured archaeological evidence to support the notion of Aryan superiority. His team of adventurers mystics and reputable scholars was charged with traveling the globe to compile "proof" that a race of blondhaired blue-eyed conquerors had dominated the world in prehistoric times. The identification of their descendants and the eradication of all others became the cornerstone of the Nazi agenda. <br/> <br/> Hyperion hardcover
