Описание: An intimate portrait of Evola and his wartime activities that rebuts many of the Fascist pseudo-myths about him * Traces the Barons activities in Italy, Germany, and Austria during World War II * Clarifies Evolas relations with Nazism and Fascism and reveals how he passionately rejected both ideologies because they were totalitarian * Draws on personal conversations with those who knew Evola, new documentation never before made public, and letters from the Hakl and Scaligero archives Baron Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola, known to the English-speaking world as Julius Evola (1898-1974), was an Italian philosopher, magician, painter, occultist, Orientalist, linguist, and champion mountain climber. Often considered a pillar of Neo-Fascist thought, Evola opposed Fascism and called himself a radical traditionalist. In this exploration of Evolas inner and outer life from World War II into the early 1950s, Gianfranco de Turris, who knew Evola when he was alive and is the executor of his estate, offers a new portrait of Julius Evola and debunks many of the pseudo-myths about his activities during the war. Drawing on personal conversations with those who knew him and new documentation never before made public, including letters from the Hakl and Scaligero archives, the author traces Evolas activities--including his time on the run and living under assumed names--in Italy, Germany, and Austria from 1943 into the mid-1950s.

He shares a thorough account of the Barons sojourn at Hitlers headquarters in Rastenburg, his work for the German secret military services, and his passionate rejection of the racial theories that were the core of Nazi ideology. The author outlines Evolas critiques of Fascism and Nazism and also explores Evolas disapproval of the Italian Social Republic because it was destroying traditional values in favor of modernity. Detailing the Barons occult and magical work during the war, de Turris shows that the only thing Evola took with him when he escaped Italy was the UR Group papers, material that would later become the three-volume work Introduction to Magic.

Sharing details from Evolas long hospital stays during and after the war, the author proves that the injury that led to Evolas paralysis was caused by an Allied bombing raid in Vienna and not, as rumor has it, by a sex magic act gone horribly wrong. The author shares photographs from the time period and the Barons correspondence with Rene Guenon on the possibility of restoring the spiritual and magical power of an authentic Freemasonry. Offering conclusive evidence that Evola was not part of the Nazi regime, de Turris sheds light on the inner workings of this legendary occult figure and what Evola believed was the best approach for the magus to take in the modern world.
