Interesting, I never really considered Evola a master in the traditional
sense. Irregardless of how or why he felt about such matters he did exist
and he has a personal history and I would like to know, for example, more
about the time he spent in WWI. If those details aren't there, so be it,
I'm sure it focuses on what he thought to be meaningful.
