Geron and Virtus, written by master Waldorf teacher Jakob Streit, is the remarkable story of two boys during the Roman campaign to conquer the Germanic tribes. That particular period in history is important, because the encounter between the Romans and Germans produced the birth of a new Europe and the transition to a new time.
The story is about friendship, slavery, honor, and adventure. The text is rich with spiritual insights provided by druid priests and their stories of Nordic mythology, the foundation of the Germanic folk soul.
Geron and Virtus is vividly illustrated and aimed at sixth and seventh grade students.
