I recommend reading the book before listening, because the narrator annunciates some words very poorly. He's saying "dissolution", not "disillusion"!

In Pagan Imperialism, Julius Evola presents a fiery critique of the modern world, tracing the decay of Western civilization to its abandonment of its primal pagan roots. Evola condemns the rise of materialism, democracy, and equality, seeing them as signs of European man gone astray. He mourns the loss of the ancient spiritual hierarchy, where gods and warriors reigned supreme, and the cosmos pulsed with mystical energy.

Aside from the absolutely abysmal foreword and the narration, which is lazy and clunky at best, this is a stellar work from Evola, and an interesting book to contrast against his others. This work has a tone and spirit that is far less detached than his other translated works. There's a sense of urgency, a commanding voice here, starkly contrasted from the aloof and measured prose characteristic of his later works. Pagan Imperialism is a great look into Evola's earlier thought, and is essential to getting a complete understanding of his worldview.
If you're reading this before listening, I HIGHLY recommend just skipping the foreword, as it doesn't just fail to offer anything to the work, but actually detracts from it with the brazen use of unserious internet lingo, which shows that its author either doesn't understand Evola, or doesn't take him seriously. No matter the case, something as important as the foreword to a book should be left to someone who understands the authors ideas AND takes them seriously.
I also have to recommend reading/listening to Evola's other works before attempting Pagan Imperialism, solely because the narrator's pronunciations are sometimes so ridiculously incorrect that if you don't know what he's trying to say (nearly all of the terms in question appear in Evola's other works), it's quite easy to just not understand what the narrator is trying to say at all (example: Airyanem Vaejo). I know many of these terms are difficult and confusing, and i commend the narrator for attempting, but a bit more studying could've resulted in a far more polished end product.
Again I'd like to emphasize that the work itself is spectacular, and you should not let either the narration or the foreword take away from any enjoyment and insight that can be derived therein.

The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is an account of the events leading up to the crucifixion of Christ, dictated by a 19th-century German stigmatic and visionary, Anne Catherine Emmerich. Emmerich was nearly illiterate, so she dictated the text to the poet Clemens Brentano. The narrative contains many small details that do not occur in the Gospel narratives, and the sublime poetics and lofty imagery in the book have led scholars to suspect that Brentano may have embellished Anne’s descriptions as he write them down.

Excellent

My only criticism is the reader’s mispronunciation of several biblical and Catholic words (novena, Pharisee, Sadducee, Galilean, …).
