Revolt is probably best intro, but if you have a solid background in philosophy Ride the Tiger might be good too.

>>20401560
No need. That book is garbage not even worth reading for the novelty. This faggot is posting this book in every single Evola thread all day every day, posting threads about it every day, with no ability to engage in discussion with any authenticity. What does this tell you? That he's either mentally ill or a troll.

Wrong. I can post a direct quote from one of the most accomplished esotericists alive saying that this quote is complete idiocy.

Not Ride the Tiger unless you're very familiar with Nietzsche, existentialism and general 20th century philosophy.
Revolt is not an easy read either but if you take the time it can be a good starting point. But with this >>20401492 you can't go wrong.

I have never read a single one of his books. Yet.
Here is, however, an infographic I have saved.

>> No.20402884

>>20401429
The preface or introduction to Introduction to Magic vol. II
In it, Evola succinctly introduces his worldview and metaphysics. That is to say that everything he has written is based on real attainable and verifiable states of being.
I would generally recommended the Introduction to Magic series to understand that first, otherwise if you just jump into something like Revolt then you will think he just made up some fantasy worldbuilding larp bullshit and you will be completely lost. He is an author of esotericism.

I started with A Handbook for Right Wing Youth. Seemed like a good entry point and it was only short. Haven't gone on to read much after that but I reckon I will one day soon fate permitting. An excerpt:

Evola is a pain in the ass to read no matter which book you start from. I personally read "Revolt Against the Modern World" first, and whilst it was definitely a difficult read, it was also incredibly rewarding. Just me aware that when you read Evola you actually have to really study the text in order to understand what he means; Re-reading chapters one or several times will prove to be demanded of you.

I went through an Evola phase as a teenager and read most of his works and to while his breadth is high there isn't that much depth to him. He did get me interested in Tantra, Mahayana, and Western Occultism though.
>>20403764
Not really. Evola is pretty straightforward. No idea why people say this. Guenon or really pretty much any other philosopher is more difficult to tackle than Evola.
>>20402863
Not a bad path. But honestly the best way, just pick up The Path of Cinnabar where he discusses each book/period of his life and read each one in order of writing along with the commentary he gives in Cinnabar.
