It was not Steve Jobs and Apple who invented the iPhone4 – they only gave birth to what Ernst Jünger had intellectually conceived in 1949 in the novel Heliopolis and continued into Eumeswil (1977). By a nice coincidence, Ernst Jünger’s “universal communicator” has essentially the same name – the phonophore. Below is a rough translation of the most relevant passage...
The Forest Passage is available from Telos (and other major booksellers) as of today. Here are some comments from the Telos site on the book: Ernst Jünger’s The Forest Passage explores the possibility of resistance: how the independent thinker can withstand and oppose the power of the omnipresent state. No matter how extensive the technologies of surveillance become, the forest...

Thanks to Eliah Bures for this excellent article in the Los Angeles Review of Books on the importance and best use of living memories of war in general and World War I in particular: Rest in Peace: World War I and Living Memory. Eliah focuses especially on Ernst Jünger’s war diary, the Kriegstagebuch 1914-1918, which appeared in print in 2010. A short excerpt follows, full text here...
A Call for Papers on post-1945 Ernst Jünger, which for obvious reasons I am happy to pass on here – far too infrequently does this vastly more significant period of his life get attention from academia! Organized by/for the annual meeting of american Germanisten in Kansas City, Missouri, Sept 18 – 21. For more information, click on the text or contact Thorsten Carstensen:...
What would seem to be quite an interesting meeting on Ernst Jünger in Varese, Italy. With Quirino Principe, major translator of Jünger in Italian.
Un incontro su Ernst Jünger in Varese, tra l’altro con il traduttore maggiore in Italiano delle sue opere, Quirono Principe.
Another short excerpt from the forthcoming publication of “The Forest Passage” by Ernst Jünger, naturally with the permission of the publisher Telos Press. It will be available from Telos sometime in December – stay tuned! (… from Chapter 31) “As we see, predicaments arise that demand an immediate moral decision, and this is most true where the vortex is deepest and...
Looking forward to the publication of this first translation of Ernst Jünger’s Der Waldgang from Telos Press in December! Until then the cover image also provides food for thought. Visually, I find it original and eye-catching. More importantly, it communicates in a nicely condensed form much of what Jünger has to say in the text; any reader ripe for the author’s message...
I am thrilled to spread the news today from Telos Press that Der Waldgang will soon be available in English under the title The Forest Passage. Last year Telos also published The Adventurous Heart: Figures and Capriccios and are thus apparently intent on becoming the new publisher of Jünger’s books in English. On behalf of all those who have been starving over the last decade for new...
Just received notice of this interesting exhibition in Boulder, Colorado, from its curator, Ross Etherton, a PhD student at the University of Colorado Boulder. His exhibit showcases many early copies of Jünger’s works, most of which once belonged to Gerhard Loose (one of Jünger’s biographers), as well as some hand-labeled beetles that belonged to Jünger (on loan from Dr. Frank...
