I encountered him by accident helping a friend move books. A book he wrote on communism. I set him aside for a few years and then around Obama read the book again. I then found several websites with his essays. Then when I had a bit of coin to spend after my last job went under I bought about 10 books and read them over last few years. No money so I read. Or surf. Or type online.

Do you mean that you surf, as in on a surfboard in the ocean.

I have noticed that you have often been reading Berdyaev.

I can see that it will require quite some study.

Thank you for sharing one of your key sources.

Thank you very much, the most valuable gift received this Christmas.

I would like to make a gift too, to all book lovers, Julius Evola- Ride the tiger, for those who have not read it yet: https://www.docdroid.net/W4Uy1z4/ride-the-tiger-a-survival-manual-for-the-aristocrats-of-the-soul-julius-evola-2003-inner-traditions-pdf#page=228

One of the few lucid diagnosticians of the modern world.

One of the most beautiful films about books that I have just re-re-reviewed is Fahrenheit 451; based on a dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury. The entire film and especially the finale images are signs of gratitude and acknowledgement of the meaning of words travelling centuries and shaping human souls and history.

Wish you all a safe and peaceful Holiday Season and a hopeful New Year!

I liked reading Ride the Tiger. I have read 5 or 6 titles. Gornahoor is a good place to explore him: https://www.gornahoor.net/?p=4471

Thanks, Bruce. This is going to be quite a read... The three stages of man outlined here already got me.

As an ex-communist his conversion to Orthodoxy, his style, makes complete sense. The Revolver or the Cross.
