Roots Of The Mountains

Roots of the Mountains

by William Morris

Set in a fictional pre-medieval Germanic world, "Roots of the Mountains" follows the inhabitants of Burgdale, a valley where peace has reigned for generations. Their tranquil existence is shattered by the arrival of the Sons of the Wolf and the Dusky Men, forces that threaten their established order. The novel explores themes of war, peace, and social organization, reflecting Morris's socialist views and the racial politics of his time. It delves into the complex dynamics between different tribes, their cultures, and the impact of external threats on their societal structures.
