Originally published in London 1931

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

A study of early nudism or naturism in Europe and America. The first book providing firm evidence that the enjoyment of nakedness does not emanate from cranks, aesthetes or emotionally unstable people, but from athletic, out of door folk with plenty of energy and the wish for a healthier and happier life. Contains black and white vintage photographs of nudists.

Nacktkultur Assails Us. Arrival at the land of the naked men. Initiation. The beach without bathing suits. Morning gymnastics. A dance at the inn. Hamburg-Nudity among the working classes.
