About This Book

A personal memoir and political essay tracing an intellectual and spiritual journey from youthful revolutionary individualism to devout Catholicism and advocacy for monarchy. The author recounts formative impressions and conversion, diagnoses perceived failures of parliamentary democracy, and explains how engagement with royalist ideas convinced him that a monarchical regime would restore order, hierarchy, and continuity. The narrative interweaves autobiographical episodes with polemical argument and practical prescriptions for moral and political renewal.
