Re: Fiction book on Evola: Ein Tag im Leben des Julius Evola

I completely agree. Mythologization is not the approriate word here
indeed: 'sensationalization', that's what this book is about. The
sentence the list owner quotes from the text demonstrate this clearly.
It was also this writer - Oliver Ritter - who made a rather
'decadent' painting of Evola, although opinions on this may differ.

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 :...
