Any Evolafriends on /lit/ today? I am trying to read his works all the way through in chronological order. Has anyone else here done this, and if so, how did you manage his earliest works? I am really interested in his 1920s writings but it seems few of them have been translated to Italian.

I'm willing to read German or French if they're available. If not, I might have a go at (slowly) translating the Italian, since I know a tiny bit. Would anyone here be interested in rough translations if I do this? Maybe an Italian anon could even skim over them for obvious stupid mistakes.

Shit, that should be "translated FROM Italian."

actually, yes

Why are you going chronologically? I hear mystery of the grail and the one on hermeticism is where one should start.

Aren't those like his two hardest works?

Bruh idk thats just what i heard

Ive heard people start with RATMW but its better to have a foundation in his religious world view before reading that.

>> No.13607253

>>13607047
mystery of the grail isn’t hard, it just makes no sense to read it if you haven’t already read the source material. his work on hermeticism is hard as fuck, very very dense

I will probably post it to /lit/ at some point unless some nice publisher does it first. That's what I hope. They have been doing pretty good work in just the past few years translating. Lots of his essays (with surprisingly nice covers) from Arktos, and there's even Pagan Imperialism in English, a very early thing. But what I really want is his "magical idealism" shit from the 1920s.

>>13606951
Just for fun and for the satisfaction of completionism. I am already fairly OK reading his works, I just want to do it in depth.

I too have mean to do the same, yet his early books are very hard to find.
I'm particulary interested in a pdf/epub of an English translation of "Theory of the Absolute Individual" (1927) and "The Phenomenology of the Absolute Individual" (1930).

I don’t think that has been translated into English. Maybe Cologero Salvo translated it, but I’m not sure

I just dove straight into Revolt against the modern world. After that I read Ride the tiger.

Those were actually the first two "philosophical" books I ever seriously read. After those I read the greeks and some of the existentialists and then went back to Evola again. After spending a year reading other history/philosophy, his writings were MUCH clearer, because the first time around I didn't totally comprehend everything he was saying.

Also keep in mind he is slightly insane, take what he says with a grain of salt.

Evola is for children.
Guénon is for grown men.
Aquinas is for the ascended.
