Julius Evola's final major work, which examines the prototype of the human being who can give absolute meaning to his or her life in a world of dissolution.

Julius Evolas 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.

"Simply put, Evola shows, unintentionally but with passion, why European Tradition may not be able to match East Asia in riding the tiger in today's world. It lacks a spirituality for today's mundane world, tempered by the harsh realism of Daoism and the practical disciplines of Confucianism."
