Title: Not for Sunday strollers
Review: This slim volume is collection of brief essays and magazine articles thematically centered on, as the title states, Mountain Climbing as Metaphor for the Spiritual Quest.A few of the articles are dated, but the rest are gems. What Evola means by the spiritual quest is not the stuff of New Age fantasy or the gooey sentimentality of religiosity.Evola's prose in these essays is clear and direct. He manages to give us a glimpse into a harsh and rarefied world of transcendent beauty. This book may be the best introduction to Evola for those who are not yet prepard for his more scholarly, esoteric and demanding writings.
