Description:
Julius Evola's final major work identifies the type of person capable of "riding the tiger," who can give absolute meaning to life in a world of dissolution while transforming destructive processes into inner liberation. " Ride the Tiger" presents an implacable criticism of the idols and illusions of our modern age, offering hope for those who wish to reembrace Tradition.
