Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola was born in Rome on May 19, 1898 from a noble family of Sicilian origin. Passionate about culture, as a boy, is drawn to writers like D'Annunzio and Oscar Wild, and also knows other thinkers like Nietzsche and Weininger Michelstaedter. The young Evola loved poetry, art and philosophy and spent many hours each day locked in the library. In 1917 part of the First World War. He is sent on the summits of Asiago, and it is them who begins to love the mountains. For Evola, the mountain, will be one of the main points of his life (Mountain understood as inner experience). Returning from the war, he falls into a severe depression due to intolerance of the "normal" life to which he returned. Get to the point of suicide. Then the light. Evola comes out of his deep depression, reading a text of Buddhism. This was a crucial step in the life of Baron. In fact, after this dark period, Evola stops with both painting and poetry and is dedicated solely to philosophy. From 1927 to 1929 coordinates the Group "UR" in order to deal with esoteric disciplines and initiation. In this period, the UR group, under the supervision of Evola, publishes numerous articles which will then be assembled in the text "Introduction to the magic." In 1928, instead of public "Pagan Imperialism," for which many will suffer criticism from the church, because of his outspoken criticism of Christianity. In 1934, Master Julius Evola, writes his main masterpiece, "Revolt against the modern world." A text that deals with traditional values \u200b\u200b(of the sacred and of 'eternity) in comparison with modern ones (the profit and time). Gottfried Benn, German poet, said of this text: "Anyone who reads it will feel transformed." From 1937 to 1941 is committed to the study of race, which took out two books: "The Myth of Blood" (1937) and "Summary of the Doctrine of the Race" (1941). According to the Master "The concept of race depends on the image you man ... I took as an example the traditional view that humans recognize a being composed of three elements: body, soul and spirit."
In 1940 Italy entered the war but Evola, due to bureaucratic problems, unable to leave for the front even though it has been proposed voluntary. The reason? Evola had no piece of the PNF. The September 8, 1943 however, adheres to the Italian Social Republic, and remains to defend the dignity of their country, driven by a spirit legionnaire.
In 1945 in Vienna where he is due to a bombing paralyzed for life. "Nothing changed. My intellectual and spiritual activity was not affected in any way. Everything was reduced to a purely physical impediment. "In 1948 he returned to Italy, in Bologna, then moved permanently to Rome in 1951. E 'in this period that Evola, seeing young people interested in his books and his ideas, he decided to write another text that is very significant for the generation to come: "Guidelines". The title says it all. It will be an important guide for kids who choose a certain kind of way. So important that even today, after more than 50 years, there are those who still keep it within the library. Also, Evola, was then investigated in the trial of the FAR which was later acquitted. In 1953 he published "Men and Ruins," which is nothing but an extension of the eleven points of the "Guidelines". A few years later, in 1961, comes up with "Riding the Tiger." A text addressed to the kind of man that even if you do not recognize the values \u200b\u200bof the modern world, try not to give him up but instead tries to "ride".
As we have seen, the Master Julius Evola, in his life wrote a lot texts and those mentioned above are just a few of his numerous references. With his studies, was a landmark for many generations of men, who still are inspired by his teachings.
Evola died on June 11, '74 at his home in Rome. His last wish was to be cremated. Also asked to bring his ashes on Mount Rosa. A party was thrown into a crevasse, while the other, run into the wind.
