Hello,
'L'arco e la clava' ('The Bow and the Bludgeon'), "[ a collection
of writings], some already published separately on various occasions,
or constituting the texts of [my speeches at] conferences, others
new", is one of the main books by Julius Evola which has not been
published in English yet.
"The bow to strike from a distance, the bludgeon, to destroy at
close range", as recalled by the Italian author himself in 'The Road
of Cinnabar' in 1963.
The bludgeon consists of the essays in which Evola deals with
various aspects of the customs and society of today, from an anti-
conformist point of view and in relation to a higher vision of man
and life : homosexuality, negrified America, pornography, the taste
for vulgarity in everyday life, advertising, jazz, neo-spiritualism,
and so on. With the bow, higher and more distant objectives are
reached, such as the problems, many already attacked at the time of
Ur and Krur, of the relations between West and East, the essence of
myths and symbols, the significance of Romanity, the Olympian ideal,
the centres of Initiation, the true significance of Tradition, the
path of action and the path of contemplation, and - as we present
here :

concept of Initiation.
