Product Description
'NO IDEA IS AS ABSURD AS THE IDEA OF PROGRESS, which together with its corollary notion of the superiority of modern civilisation, has created its own positive alibis by falsifying history, and by insinuating harmful myths in people's minds, and by proclaiming itself sovereign at the crossroads of the plebeian ideology from which it originated.

| Short Description | This is Evola's masterpiece, as well as his most fundamental work. Evola lucidly describes the problems of modernity, as well as highlighting various civilisations which were steeped in the light of Tradition. This text appeals to those who observe and distance themselves from the hostile nature of counter-Tradition prevalent in modern society today. |
| Praise | 'Evola does not write in abstract philosophical language but in lively prose, filled with fascinating and concrete details. Given a basic grounding in history and culture, one can dip into the book anywhere and find new twists and reinterpretations. Such an encounter with a totally original mind is a rarity in these days of bland consensus, and a thrilling one whether one agrees with Evola or not.' - Joscelyn Godwin, Gnosis Magazine 'Revolt Against the Modern World' is destined to remain an essential work and frame-of-reference for anyone seriously involved in native European spirituality.' - Michael Moynihan, Vor Tru |
