ERNST Jünger (1895–1998), who lived a long and fulfilling life, became one of Germany’s most admired literary figures. He is best remembered for his detailed memoirs as a lieutenant and commander in the First World War, a period which is forever immortalised in The Storm of Steel (1920). Jünger, who was heavily decorated for his wartime exploits, was also a leading German intellectual and produced several philosophical novels, among them On the Marble Cliffs (1939), Heliopolis (1949), The Glass Bees (1957), Eumeswil (1977), Aladdin’s Problem (1983) and A Dangerous Encounter (1985). Another dimension to Ernst Jünger was his interest in politics and a firm opposition to both democracy and liberalism. In association with men such as Oswald Spengler, Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, Ernst von Salomon, Carl Schmitt and Ernst Niekisch, he performed a leading role in the ranks of the Conservative Revolution. First published in 2012, the essays in this revised and reformatted volume are now in high demand.
