I bought this book and I'm pretty disappointed by the quality. The front matter has none of the usual info, or even the name of the translator. I'm only on page 15, and I've found over a dozen typos.

Does anyone know a better edition of this book? I'd like to buy it.

Also, does anyone know anyting about Wewelsburg Archives? Are they still in business? There's no info online. In fact, there's not much info online about Evola's work at all. I want to find a good translation, but that's proving dificult.

Doesn't Arktos publish him?

>> No.19475178

Pagan Imperialism is available from Gornahoor, or was (Gornahoor isn’t pagan). Metaphysics of War is available from Arktos. I have both, never even read them. I’d send them for free if I could.

I have a few of their PDFs and they're not bad. They're also probably the most redaliy available editions some of these works have. So I'm grateful.

>> No.19476215

I got his lulu.com publications for Ernst Junger's Eumeswil and The Forest Passage and Serrano's Nos Book of the Resurrection. I don't believe he translated them, just published them for a reasonable price in English on his own and I'm happy for it. They're acceptable quality and they look good, the writing is all fine obviously as well. I appreciate the effort.

Wewelsburg Archives is no more, although the original editor is still somewhat active and intends to put out The Ultimate Avatar at some point.

The project was mainly spearheaded by Finns, Hungarians, and Serbians so the typos are to be expected. The “later” published editions like The Lightning and the Sun and Nos are better edited though.

same anon as >>19476580

I don’t remember exactly which books were home-translated and which were just republished but the primary objective of WW Archives was to publish books of this particular strain which are difficult to find in English, whether it be because there aren’t very many English translations or because English translations are prohibitively expensive.

You can buy Pagan Imperialism in a translation by Cologero Salvo from amazon, or Heathen Imperialism (different version of the book) by Cariou from lulu. I've only read the first which has more than decent quality.

They did their own version of Metaphysics of War which is great, but not Pagan Imperialism.

The quality improved as time went on. There was a lot of stuff planned (Serrano’s entire catalog, Gold in the Furnace and other Devi books, etc) but it didn’t quite work out that way. Server migrations and peoples’ lives got in the way and ultimately the project fell apart.

The reason why there are no translator names is because it was done anonymously.

Cologero seems to be much better than the average "traditionalist" in his understanding of those authors shilled by them (Guenon, Evola, etc.). Yet, he has some weird unexplainable takes on some topics. There is something special about his blog, probably his writing style, really nice to read it from time to time.

The writers at Gornahoor are proponents of Christianity, specifically the type of the Middle Ages but I’ve never seen that claim there. Still, it’s not beyond belief imo.

Not beyond belief but still improbable since he kept on publishing revised editions of his work until shortly before his death which did not indicate any such leanings. The anon I referred to always refers to his letters to Guenon but can't back it up.

The intention was always for the books to be readable, but I believe a lot of the awkwardness of the translations is that some of the translators themselves were ESL.

How were the authors so based? How did Serrano knew all of these important people? Evola also was in contact with all sort of authors like Carl Schmitt, Guenon, Eliade. I also want to know relevant people which are into esoterism. How do I do that?

I did it and it doesn't work, if you don't have certain interesting people to meet, you will only find normies.
