Evola wrote more than 36 books and 1,100 articles. [132] In some of his 1930s writings, and in works about magic, Evola used pseudonyms, including Ea ( after a Babylonian god), Carlo d'Altavilla, and Arthos (from Arthurian legend).

[185] [106] At this point, Evola fled to Berlin in Nazi Germany with the help of the Sicherheitsdienst. [19] [20] Evola was one of the first people to greet Mussolini when the latter was broken out of prison by Otto Skorzeny in September 1943. [186] According to Sheehan, Adolf Hitler also met with Evola and other fascist intellectuals. [187] After the meeting with Mussolini, at Hitler's Wolf's Lair, Evola involved himself in Mussolini's Italian Social Republic (the Republic of Salò, a Nazi puppet regime). [19] [27] [21] [188] [22] Evola returned to Rome in 1943 to organize a radical right group called the Movimento per la Rinascita dell'Italia. [21] He fled to Vienna in 1944, barely avoiding capture by the Americans when the Allies took Rome. [21] [187] In this book, Evola reconstructs a picture of “traditional” man, contrasts it with modernity, and tells a story of how the latter displaced the former through much of the world. For most authors, tradition refers to that which is handed down to us from previous generations, but Evola’s “tradition” is something different–essentially timeless, subject to only accidental variations between cultures, found not in our elders but in ancient texts, and even there only in fragmented or esoteric form. One might call Evola a sort of Protestant traditionalist, seeking to sidestep centuries of corruption to recover the original Tradition of the North just as the Protestant wants to access Apostolic Christianity unmediated by Catholic tradition. This would be unfair, though, to the Protestants. Unlike the Arctic Aryan god-men of Evola’s imagination, at least Apostolic Christianity actually existed, and the Protestant imagination is somewhat grounded by an existing ancient text. For Evola, most recorded traditions represent the original tradition in partially corrupted form, or their true meaning is accessible only to someone of his spiritual discernment, so he has free play to take anything he likes as part of the true, original tradition and to discard whatever he doesn’t like, no matter how well-attested across multiple cultures.

Table of Contents

Evola's Heidnischer Imperialismus (1933) was translated by the Russian radical-right Eurasianist Aleksandr Dugin in 1981. [230] Dugin has said that in his youth he was "deeply inspired" by Guénon's and Evola's Traditionalism.

The Greek neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn includes his works on its suggested reading list, and the leader of Jobbik, the Hungarian nationalist party, admires Evola and wrote an introduction to his works.

Through a sweeping study of the structures, myths, beliefs, and spiritual traditions of the major Western civilizations, the author compares the characteristics of the modern world with those of traditional societies. The domains explored include politics, law, the rise and fall of empires, the history of the Church, the doctrine of the two natures, life and death, social institutions and the caste system, the limits of racial theories, capitalism and communism, relations between the sexes, and the meaning of warriorhood.
