As an aid to anyone aspiring to live as an anarch in the sense developed in Ernst Jünger’s novel, Eumeswil, through the character of its protagonist, Manuel, I have compiled a complete collection of all quotations from the book that elaborate on this critical Jüngerian theme. However impossible such a choice may seem given all the unique ideas Jünger has given us, I do find the concept of...

(From VoegelinView, 16 Feb 2021)  There are several examples that help us grasping that particular zeitgeist lived in the first half of the 20th century. A book such as Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain gives us a description of the moral and spiritual decomposition of the then bourgeois society. At this time, in the bashed and defeated post-war Germany, nihilism had turned to be a dominant moral...

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...

The Forest Passage Taken from The Worthy House on October 13, 2018, written by Charles  Ernst Jünger was one of the more fascinating men of the twentieth century. 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...

The Forest Passage – into the concrete jungle

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...

Francois Mitterand to Ernst Jünger on his 100th birthday – 1995

“Here is a man who is free.  Embroiled to the point of risking his life in the turmoil of the century, he held himself apart from his passions. Nothing can appropriate his name, nor his gaze, except perhaps that butterfly in Pakistan now called “Trachydura Jüngeri”, which is his pride. Because this rebel chases glow-worms, this soldier writes novels. A philosopher, he...

Flying dreams – Jünger’s and mine

December is for dreaming and my own clear favourites are flying dreams. Here then, from Das Abenteuerliche Herz, Zweite Fassung, is my translation of “Flugträume”, followed by an exposition of my own flying dreams and perhaps comments from readers with theirs! “Flying dreams are like memories of the possession of a special spiritual power. In truth, they are more dreams of...
