   Biografi som överraskar

   Biografi om en historiskt kontroversiell filosof som egentligen alltid gick sin egen väg och var bortom det som är. Stämplad som kollaboratör av de allierade, ändå svartlistad och satt under övervakning i Tyskland där de styrande i slutändan betraktade Evola som ideologiskt opålitlig och oönskad.
