About the author

Nicolás Gómez Dávila was a Colombian writer and thinker who is considered one of the most intransigent political theoreticians of the twentieth century.

His fame began to spread only in the last few years before his death, particularly by way of German translations of his works. Gómez Dávila was one of the most radical critics of modernity whose work consists almost entirely of aphorisms which he called "escolios" (or "glosses").

You can find his aphorisms, translated into English, here: http://don-colacho.blogspot.com/

Reviews

[Scipio Africanus · Rating 5 out of 5]

A book you could move through at lightning speed, but is best digested at a pace of a few pages a day over a few years. Alot of profound thoughts with a few eyerolls thrown in. Loved this collection and will probably reread it in a few years

Possiamo dipingere la decadenza di una società, però è impossibile definirla. Come la demenza crescente di uno sguardo.
