The most influential works of
Western civilization
Featured Titles
Benito Mussolini (July 29th, 1883–April 28th, 1945), Il Duce of Italian Fascism and the Prime Minister of Italy from 1922 to 1943, is a man of undeniable historical impact. This arrangement of his early political speeches begins in November 1914, after Mussolini is expelled from the Italian Socialist Party for advocating Italian intervention in the First World War. The speeches continue throughout the Great War, as Mussolini joins the fighting ranks of his countrymen, and advance through his political development, the creation of Italian Fascism, and the founding and rise to power of the National Fascist Party, which ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943.
Originally published in 1923, Mussolini as Revealed in His Political Speeches was selected, translated, and edited by Baron Bernardo Quaranta di San Severino, who also introduces the collection and each speech with a brief overview of context. The speeches are arranged mostly chronologically, with Severino dividing his speeches into categories with overlapping timelines in the post-war period. This presentation represents the different aspects and focuses of Mussolini’s speeches more clearly, whether regarding labor, the people, or policy.

With unflinching gaze and uncompromising intensity Julius Evola analyzes the spiritual and cultural malaise at the heart of Western civilization and all that passes for progress in the modern world. As a gadfly, Evola spares no one and nothing in his survey of what we have lost and where we are headed. At turns prophetic and provocative, Revolt against the Modern World outlines a profound metaphysics of history and demonstrates how and why we have lost contact with the transcendent dimension of being.
The revolt advocated by Evola does not resemble the familiar protests of either liberals or conservatives. His criticisms are not limited to exposing the mindless nature of consumerism, the march of progress, the rise of technocracy, or the dominance of unalloyed individualism, although these and other subjects come under his scrutiny. Rather, he attempts to trace in space and time the remote causes and processes that have exercised corrosive influence on what he considers to be the higher values, ideals, beliefs, and codes of conduct--the world of Tradition--that are at the foundation of Western civilization and described in the myths and sacred literature of the Indo‑Europeans. Agreeing with the Hindu philosophers that history is the movement of huge cycles and that we are now in the Kali Yuga, the age of dissolution and decadence, Evola finds revolt to be the only logical response for those who oppose the materialism and ritualized meaninglessness of life in the twentieth century.
Through a sweeping study of the structures, myths, beliefs, and spiritual traditions of the major Western civilizations, the author compares the characteristics of the modern world with those of traditional societies. The domains explored include politics, law, the rise and fall of empires, the history of the Church, the doctrine of the two natures, life and death, social institutions and the caste system, the limits of racial theories, capitalism and communism, relations between the sexes, and the meaning of warriorhood. At every turn Evola challenges the reader’s most cherished assumptions about fundamental aspects of modern life.

Fearsome and provocative, the slogan “Blood and Soil” speaks to the interplay between the land and the people on it—the power of a land to shape a people and the power of a people to shape a land. Richard Walther Darré, an Obergruppenführer in the SS, was the leading “Blood and Soil” ideologist of Germany and served his people as Reich Minister of Food and Agriculture. This book, A New Nobility of Blood and Soil, was massively popular in the Third Reich and led to a strengthening of the agrarian and agriculturalist movements. Highly influential on Hitler, the principles in this book are foundational to the National Socialist worldview.
This worldview held that Germany’s natural elite, its nobility of blood and soil, was the nation’s last hope against both the rapacious elite of capitalist wealth and the degenerate elite of ancient privilege. The hardworking and industrious peasant, who has no other country to call home, no riches with which to escape his duties, no international connections with which to deracinate himself, is the truly national man. His country is everything to him, and he is everything to his country, for it is on his back and by his sweat that his country is built. Thus, only from such a class of people can a new nobility arise that can combat the depravations of the modern world, with its polluted rivers, childless marriages, and the asphalt culture of city life.

Of all the noteworthy advances and accomplishments in every area of human endeavor, the overwhelming majority have come from one part of the world: Europe and its New World offshoots, collectively referred to as the West. This troublesome fact may be downplayed or deconstructed by the politically correct establishment, but it cannot be credibly denied. The question, then, is why.
In Greatness and Ruin, maverick scholar Ricardo Duchesne sets out to answer this question, dispelling mainstream academia’s counter-arguments along the way. Demonstrating an extraordinary breadth of scholarship, addressing subjects from music to mathematics, philosophy to furniture design, Duchesne establishes that while other peoples had their share of breakthrough advances at occasions in their histories, the West was the only civilization to produce continuous advancements building upon each other throughout its entire history. He constructs a convincing case that the particular western cultural trait of individualism led to the development of a unique sense of selfhood, producing a culture wherein excellence and ethics are valued more than kinship ties, allowing for a blossoming of creativity and experimentation unparalleled in any other society. This progress has made the West wealthy, industrious, and culturally dominant on a global scale, but also atomized, culturally incoherent, nihilistic, hostile towards its own history, and willing to disrupt its ethnic and racial demographics for short-term economic gain. In short, it has led to our greatness and our ruin. Duchesne argues, however, that the West can retreat from this precipice, tempering the self-destructive, liberal tendency of individualism through historical self-consciousness and a worldview incorporating community and cohesion, while allowing individual creativity to flourish again toward more pro-social ends.

Julius Evola stands as one of the most uncompromising and influential critics of the modern world. His work spans metaphysics, politics, and spiritual discipline—offering not merely critique, but an alternative vision rooted in what he called Tradition: a higher order of existence beyond the materialism and decay of modern life.
This collection brings together his most important writings, forming a complete introduction to his thought. From the grand historical vision of Revolt Against the Modern World, to the political realism of Men Among the Ruins, to the personal philosophy of endurance found in Ride the Tiger, and the spiritual depth of The Doctrine of Awakening, this bundle presents Evola’s ideas in their full scope.
These works are not casual reading. They are demanding, often controversial, and intended for those willing to confront fundamental questions about civilization, hierarchy, and the nature of the self. Yet for that same reason, they remain among the most enduring and widely discussed texts of the 20th century.
Whether you are encountering Evola for the first time or seeking a structured foundation in his philosophy, this collection serves as the definitive starting point.
Formats: Revolt Against the Modern World (Hardcover), Ride the Tiger (Hardcover), The Doctrine of Awakening (Paperback), Men Among the Ruins (Paperback)

This five-volume collection brings together the core theoretical texts that defined, shaped, and fractured the communist movement from its origins through the early Soviet period.
At its foundation is The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the short but world-altering work that introduced historical materialism, class struggle, and the revolutionary critique of capitalism that would influence politics across the globe.
Building on this foundation are the revolutionary writings of Vladimir Lenin, including State and Revolutionand Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism. These works outline Lenin’s theory of the state, the necessity of revolutionary violence, and his argument that global capitalism had entered an imperial phase that made world revolution inevitable.
Completing the collection are two major works by Leon Trotsky. Fascism: What It Is and How to Fight It analyzes the rise of fascist movements from a Marxist perspective, while The Revolution Betrayed and Other Worksoffers Trotsky’s critique of Stalinism and the degeneration of the Soviet experiment from within the revolutionary tradition itself.
Together, these texts do not present a single, unified doctrine. Instead, they expose the internal tensions, disagreements, and evolutions within communist thought — from revolutionary optimism to ideological fracture.
A curated collection of primary source material documenting one of the most consequential figures of the 20th century.
This bundle includes Mein Kampf: Complete Edition, In His Own Words: The Essential Speeches of Adolf Hitler, and Voice of Triumph: Hitler’s Speeches at Nuremberg—three works that together present both the ideological foundation and public rhetoric that shaped an era.
Spanning written doctrine and recorded speeches, these texts offer direct access to the language, themes, and messaging that influenced a nation and altered the course of world history.
Intended for historical study and critical examination, this collection serves as a focused archive for those seeking a deeper understanding of the forces that defined the modern world.
