Al contrario del "Tramonto dell'Occidente", negli "Anni della decisione" l'uomo non è sottomesso passivamente alle leggi deterministiche della storia, ma può reagire alla decadenza e alla minaccia delle due rivoluzioni incombenti, quella della politica e quella dei popoli.

Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve ...
