Fiction book on Evola: Ein Tag im Leben des Julius Evola   Topic List   < Prev Topic  |  Next Topic >
Reply  | 
translation: Ein Tag im Leben des Julius Evola

I fully agree with the list owner in his statment
about the authorship of this book. It is sad that
regin-verlag publishes such nonsense.
Here the trastation for all who dont speak german.

Julius Evola, the great italian philosopher, sits in
his obscured [sic!] flat at Corso Vittorio Emanuele,
plagued by his age and his sickness. His neurotic
housekeeper (female) tyrannises him [sic!!!]. To find
the "point" that makes explainable his actual
condition, he eats his mysterious chockolade
[sic!!!!!]. Pictures of his eventful life appear:
Dada, dates with wemen [sic!]&#8222;Satan's
priestesse" Maria Naglowska, Rites in a Mithraeum,
meeting with Fellini, Graf Dürckheim, Mussolini and
with &#8222;evelomaniac" [???]students. Commemoration
interbreeds with the present. The situation in his
flat comes to a head [wow!].
The author displays his know-how not only about the
symptoms of paraplegia [wow!!!], but also about the
details of Evola's life til the ambiente of Romes
20'ths. The report is only [read: nothing but] a
fictive story, but it evokes Evola's myth with a
oppressive forcefulness [sic!].
The fate of a crushed hero with a background of an
antique tragedy."

No further comments are necessary, I hope.

I agree that this book is clearly utter nonsense. However, I do hope that one day a detailed NON-fiction biography of Evola appears in English (I assume that ...

Seriously, you can't blame a man whose family name is Ritter for seeing it everywhere : www.ritter-sport.de/ As for the biography, it's called 'Julius Evola :...

Evola, indeed, did approve of the biographic essay on him by Adriano Romuladi. That appreciation can be found in an article the former wrote on the latter on...
