By Charles Haywood As the twenty-first century grinds on, with history returning in spades, Ernst Jünger, German warrior and philosopher, grows more relevant every day. This book, On the Marble Cliffs, I view as his third book in an unrecognized trilogy advising us how we should conduct ourselves under different types of tyranny. It fits with two other books, more famous, The Forest Passage...

Worthy House review of Eumeswil

At this time, in the bashed and defeated post-war Germany, nihilism had turned to be a dominant moral...

So I ordered it on my Kindle that night from my hotel room, and read it on the flight...

Remembered in the English-speaking world primarily for his World War I memoir, The Storm of Steel, he was famous in Europe for a range of right-leaning thought spanning nearly eighty years (he lived from 1896 to 1998). His output was...
