From the Publisher:

Nicolás Gómez Dávila (1913-1994) 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"). 

These aphorisms, or modestly named "annotations," are distillations of the thought of one of the America's most outstanding conservative philosophers. This work is considered of major importance in Italy and Germany, where translations of his theology, informed by a hard-edged realism, continue to stimulate debate. Compared, among others, with Pascal, Rivarol, Joubert, Jürgen, and Cioran, Gómez Dávila is now recognized to have been a thinker of world stature, with a shocking sense of clarity and originality of thought.
