Narrative Warfare: Bringing Back The (Junior) Classics

It is necessary, but not sufficient, to stop giving money to people who hate you. You also need to give that people to people on your own side, and that's been one of the big contributions against Globohomo that Vox Day has done with his building of alternative institutions to those pozzed by the Death Cult. Now he's aiming for the real deal: alternative education means. Below is his post on the new offering from Castalia House, the Junior Classics.

The purpose of The Junior Classics is to provide, in ten volumes containing about five thousand pages, a classified collection of tales, stories, and poems, both ancient and modern, suitable for boys and girls of from six to sixteen years of age. The boy or girl who becomes familiar with the charming tales and poems in this collection will have gained a knowledge of literature and history that will be of high value in other school and home work. Here are the real elements of imaginative narration, poetry, and ethics, which should enter into the education of every child.

This collection, carefully used by parents and teachers with due reference to individual tastes and needs, will help many children enjoy good literature. It will inspire them with a love of good reading, which is the best possible result of any elementary education. The child himself should be encouraged to make his own selections from this large and varied collection, the child's enjoyment being the object in view. A real and lasting interest in literature or in scholarship is only to be developed through the individual's enjoyment of his mental occupations.

That's the post in its entirety. You can read the comments here if you like.

If you have children or grandchildren, or you've got family with such, getting in on this and adding it to the family library--You have one, right?--is well worth the expense because you're getting the Classics in their proper form and not in the pozzed form that pervaded the last few printings before being discontinued.

And if that excites you, then get on board the hype train because Vox Day wants to do more projects like this in the future in addition to continuing Castalia's mission of bringing the best available without interference from the Death Cult. Because politics is downstream from culture, and the Narrative controls the culture.
