The Bow and the Club

The Bow and the Club
stands in many ways as the culmination of an exceptional life of deep
study, meditation, and experience. This volume, first published in
1968 by Traditionalist
philosopher Julius Evola,
includes the author’s final and most concentrated statements on
some of the great themes of his career, and must be regarded both by
the student of Evola and by the newcomer to his ideas as an
indispensable work from the hand of one of the profoundest and most
challenging thinkers of our time.

In this brilliant series of dense and beautiful essays, Evola lays
bare the illness of his day, and suggests a way forward for those who
are willing and able to pursue it. The issues he treats are various
and diverse—from East to West, from initiation to sex, from Black
America to Hyperborean Rome, from ‘the evasive man’ to skiing—but
the theme is constant: the urgent necessity to come to grips with the
fatal decadence of an age, and to rise to the challenge it
represents.
