By Charles Haywood Ernst Jünger’s Eumeswil, one of the famous German’s last works, published when he was eighty-two years old, is often regarded as an exposition of libertarian thought. This is understandable, but completely wrong. Such a reading attempts to shoehorn concepts in which Jünger had little interest, or toward which he was actively hostile, into an exploration of unrelated themes...
Eumeswil Taken from The Worthy House on January 21, 2019, written by Charles Ernst Jünger’s Eumeswil (Telos Press, 2015), one of the famous German’s last works, published when he was eighty-two years old, is often regarded as an exposition of libertarian thought. This is understandable, but completely wrong. Such a reading attempts to shoehorn concepts in which Jünger had little interest, or...

From the “European Commission – Research & Innovation” website, this summary of Christophe Fricker’s research project on Ernst Jünger’s extensive travel writings. Ernst Junger: a man for all cultures? EU-funding helped scholar Christophe Fricker restart his academic career and link it up with his experiences in the business world. His research has shed new light...
Telos Press has just announced their newest Ernst Jünger publication: a republication of Eumeswil in the superb original Neugroschel translation!! This is, in my opinion, their most important contribution yet to the dissemination of an author so under- and misread in the Anglo-Saxon world. For years now the original Marsilio publication (Eridanos Library, 1993) has been unavailable, or at least...

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...

Thank you, Olena! 15 квітня 2012 15:03 Olena Semenyaka National University of “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy” “There are periods of decline when the pattern fades...
The popular Jünger documentary “Neunzig Verweht” has been given English subtitles and is now available along with the original German version on my Youtube channel, ErnstJuengerAnarch. On behalf of non-German speaking fans of Ernst Jünger’s work, many thanks go out to Stefan Jarl, who took on the tedious but evidently gratifying job of transcribing and then translating the...
Ich lass die Literaten selbst reden – Hochhut und Herhaus mindestens haben was richtiges mitzuteilen. (Und ich bedanke mich bei Holger, der mir die originale VHS Aufnahme geschickt hat!) (Wenig überraschend, dass für Theweleit nur die “Annäherungen. Drogen und Rausch” interessant sind. Nur in diesem Bereich sieht er aus, als ob auch er vielleicht etwas Erfahrung hat ;-)...
“The problem is an economic system in need of more energy than it can find safely, and too willing to take risks. So one has to see the coal mine disaster, the BP oil spill and the Japan tragedy as all part of the next phase of the post-industrial world. The catastrophes are not unlike the sinking of the Titanic, (which EJ saw so clearly) which threw into relief the naive technical optimism of...
