Publisher's Synopsis
The Gammadion Or Swastika is a book written by Count Goblet D'Alviella. It is a comprehensive study of the history, symbolism, and cultural significance of the swastika, also known as the gammadion. The book explores the origins of the swastika in various cultures, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and ancient Greece. It also examines the use of the swastika in different contexts throughout history, such as in prehistoric art, medieval European heraldry, and modern political movements. The author delves into the controversy surrounding the swastika, particularly its association with Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. Despite its controversial history, the book argues that the swastika remains an important symbol in many cultures and should be understood in its historical and cultural context.
