Before dissecting the book, we must understand the man. Baron Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola (1898–1974) was an Italian philosopher, esotericist, painter, and mountaineer.

First published in Italian in 1961, the book’s French translation became a cornerstone for European New Right circles and esoteric traditionalists.
