The Face of Evening and Morning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781067476991)

Franz Altheim was a historian and philologist who conducted research on the subject of Germanic languages and ancient European history. The present work goes beyond mere historical narrative to investigate the decline of an old world order and the rise of a new one in the transition from antiquity to the middle ages. Through his brilliant scholarly analysis of this fascinating era, Altheim seeks to draw standards for the present from the historical developments of the past.
