Produktbeschreibung
Corneliu Zelea Codreanu was the founder¿ and leader of the Legion of St. Michael the¿ Archangel, otherwise known as the Iron¿Guard, in Romania between 1927 and 1938. ¿While many of the revolutionary nationalist ¿movements of the period are long forgotten, Codreanu's movement continues to be studied today. The reason is because Codreanü envisioned the Legion as being not simply ¿a political movement, but rather a knightly¿ order in which all members were suffused¿ with the spirit of God, self-sacrifice and the essence of the Romanian people. This is no more evident than in his Prison Notes, which he kept after being imprisoned on false charges by the government. Although the judiciary was unwilling to sentence him to more than ten years' labour, Codreanu was 'shot while trying to escape' shortly after these notes were written. His body was then rendered unrecognisable with acid and clandestinely buried under seven tons of concrete to hide the crime. The Prison Notes are the testimony of a man who, while disappointed by the corruption and ill treatment he faces, remains strengthened by the power of his faith and commitment to a higher cause. Also included in this volume are translations of all of Julius Evola's essays on the subject of Codreanu. Evola, who met Codreanu in Bucharest shortly before his arrest, recognised in Codreanu a kindred spirit who saw profane politics only as a means toward a restoration of genuine hierarchy and aristocracy. We have also appended a series of rarely-seen photos of the Iron Guard and Codreanu to this volume to complete the record of a movement which has withstood and transcended the test of time.
Autorenporträt
Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (1899-1938) föddes den 13 september 1899 i staden Hushi i den rumänska provinsen Moldavien. Han var grundare och ledare för Järngardet, en kristen nationalistisk organisation som var aktiv i Rumänien under större delen av mellankrigstiden. Medlemmarna i organisationen kallades legionärer och refererade ofta till Codreanu som Kaptenen. Hos legionärerna fanns en stark personkult kring Codreanu, och han dyrkades som en hjälte av sina anhängare. Codrenau började sin politiska karriär efter första världskriget som en antikommunistisk agitator och som ledare för Järngardet kom han snabbt att samla en betydande skara anhängare bland framförallt studenter och bönder, men också bland intellektuella och prästerskap. Organisationen förbjöds flera gånger men överlevde som underjordisk rörelse. Codreanus självbiografi, Till mina legionärer, publicerades 1936 där han berättar om sitt liv och kampen för Rumänien. 1925 gifte han sig med Elena Ilinoiu vid ett stort bröllop som samlade mellan 80 - 100 000 personer som firade paret. Paret fick dottern Catalina som vid tiden då Corneliu Codreanu skrev sin Fängelsedagbok var 4 år gammal. Natten mellan den 29 och 30 november 1938 mördades Codreanu och 14 andra medfångar under en fångtransport i en skog utanför Bukarest.
