A new translation of the essential works of René Guénon is being prepared in Brazilian Portuguese.
Subscribers to the series (link here) will receive the following titles:
- General Introduction to the Study of the Hindu Doctrines
- Man and his Becoming according to the Vedanta
- East and West
- The Crisis of the Modern World
- The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times
- Perspectives on Initiation
- Fundamental Symbols of Sacred Science
- Oriental Metaphysics
A new publisher, Estrela da Manhã (Morning Star), has been set up for this purpose.
Luiz de Carvalho, who probably first learned about Traditionalism as a child, has for some time been giving on-line courses at the Instituto Cultural Lux et Sapientia (Light and Wisdom Cultural Center), which does not self-identify as a Traditionalist organization, but encourages visitors to “learn traditional cosmovision and have a life with meaning.” In 2015, its recommended introductory reading list listed six books, five of which were by Traditionalist authors, including one by Olavo de Carvalho from his Traditionalist period.
Purchasers of the series get three free lectures with Luiz de Carvalho, who seems to be following in his father’s footsteps, both as lecturer and as Traditionalist.
My thanks to DP for drawing my attention to the new translation.

"...including one by Olavo de Carvalho from his Traditionalist period."
You meant in your openly traditionalist period, because in fact it remained secret until the end of your life. He criticized the traditionalism of his predecessors in its accidental characteristics but remained traditionalist in the essence of his thinking, being a "catholic" exoterically.
This is my feeling too, actually.
So is the idea that he "pretended" to be catholic so he could spread his ideas easier? Traditionalist criticising other traditionalists is probably not an easy sell to the wider audience.
