(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...
Here’s a decent documentary film on the German Goethe Prize author Ernst Jünger, produced by rbb/ARTE. I went to some considerable trouble to create good English subtitles – hope they’ll allow more non-German speakers to learn something of this remarkable man. Source: ARTE.DE (2019); One of the better documentaries on Ernst Jünger, this relatively more balanced production is...
A Dandy Goes to War Review of A German Officer in Occupied Paris. The War Journals 1941 – 1945 by Ernst Jünger Sept 2019 – by MICHAEL LEWIS Nazi Germany produced two wartime diaries of equal literary and historical significance but written from the most different perspectives conceivable. Victor Klemperer wrote furtively, in daily dread of transport to an extermination camp, a fate...
A quick and simple yet insightful introduction to Michael Hofmann’s 2003 English translation of Storms of Steel, for anyone who hasn’t read it. The reviewer apparently also hadn’t read anything of Jünger’s prior to this review, so he has a pleasantly unbiased and uncomplicated perspective.

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...
Ich habe auch einen deutschen Filmessay über Ernst Jünger auf Youtube gefunden. Unterhaltsam, und auch ziemlich aufschlussreich.
Hier ein Text über “Auf der Marmorklippen” – ich finde ihn sehr lesenswert, auch für seine Betrachtungen über unsere eigenen Lage. Und ich bedanke mich für den Hinweis bei dem Verfasser, Philippe Guichard…. Der kosmische Ernst Jünger. In “Auf den Marmorklippen” erinnert die Prosa von Ernst Jünger an die “Illuminationen” des...

I just found this excellent documentary (in 8 parts) juxtaposing Ernst Jünger´s life in Paris (via citations from his WWII Paris diaries “Strahlungen”) with Vichy propaganda shorts and other film footage from the same years. On the one hand, the typical illusions of mass propaganda, with its simplistic facade of normality, its one-sided righteousness, its certainty in the...
Piloten im Auslegungsgeschwader. Eine Tagung über Ernst Jünger korrigiert das Bild vom Autor als Kriegstreiber Wer schreibt, verfasst stets ein Stück innerer Autobiographie. Besonders deutlich wird dies bei Autoren, die Tagebuch schreiben. Ernst Jünger führte nahezu achtzig Jahre lang ein Diarium, das ihm teils nur als zu bearbeitende Grundlage weiterer Aufzeichnungen diente, wie beispielsweise...
