Presenting the desperate conflict of the First World War through the eyes of an ordinary German soldier, Ernst Jünger's Storm of Steel is translated by Michael Hofmann in Penguin Modern Classics.'As though walking through a deep dream, I saw steel helmets approaching through the craters. They seemed to sprout from the fire-harrowed soil like some iron harvest.'A memoir of astonishing power, savagery and ashen lyricism, Storm of Steel depicts Ernst Jünger's experience of combat on the front line - leading raiding parties, defending trenches against murderous British incursions, and simply enduring as shells tore his comrades apart. One of the greatest books to emerge from the catastrophe of the First World War, it illuminates like no other book not only the horrors but also the fascination of a war that made men keep fighting for four long years.Ernst Jünger (1895-1998) the son of a wealthy chemist, ran away from home to join the Foreign Legion. His father dragged him back, but he returned to military service when he joined the German army on the outbreak of the First World War. Storm of Steel (Stahlgewittern) was Jünger's first book, published in 1920. Greatly admired by the Nazis, Jünger remained at a distance from the regime, with books such as his allegorical work On the Marble Cliffs (1939) functioning as a covert criticism of Nazi ideology and methods.If you enjoyed Storm of Steel, you might like Edward Blunden's Undertones of War, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'To read this extraordinary book is to gain a unique insight into the compelling nature of organized, industrialized violence'Niall Ferguson, author of War of the World'Hofmann's interpretation is superb' The Times'Unique in the literature of this or any other war is its brilliantly vivid conjuration of the immediacy and intensity of battle' Telegraph'Storm of Steel is what so many books claim to be but are not: a classic account of war' Evening Standard

Skogen utgör i denna essä symbolen för ett nytt frihetsanspråk, i ruinerna efter det andra världskriget. När Skogsvandringen utkom 1951 gällde denna fråga på ett plan hela Tysklands öde - moraliskt, militärt och politiskt en bruten nation, som nu fann sig lämnad i skiljelinjen mellan massdemokratins och folkrepublikernas rustade världsmakter i öst och i väst. Samtidigt är det ett motståndsmanifest för den enskilda människan, bortom gränsernas och de olika statsskickens tvingande inskränkningar. Den som väljer skogsvandrarens väg finner sig ställd inför en maktordning som i förening med tekniken reser totala anspråk. Dess framträdande kräver en ny form av frihet, och för att tyda dess symboler och kulisser krävs ett perspektivskifte. Likt partisanen väljer skogsvandraren att lämna detta samhälle bakom sig för att i skogen grunda sin frihet på ett djupare inre plan. Först då blir det återigen möjligt att handla.

Ernst Jünger (1895-1998) har som ingen annan kommit att betraktas som en uttolkare av hela 1900-talets malströmmar och dynamiska potential. Skogsvandringen anknyter till flera teman i hans författarskap, inte minst den enskilda människans trotsiga försök att hävda sin frihet i en teknisk-titanisk tidsålder.

Eumeswil är Ernst Jüngers (1895-1998) sista stora »posthistoriska« roman. Den utspelar sig i en stadsstat vid den nordafrikanska kusten, efter världsstatens och högteknologins kollaps. Berättaren är historikern Martin Venator, som även tjänstgör som nattsteward i baren på bergfästningen Kasban, där envåldshärskaren Kondoren styr över staden Eumeswil. Bakom bardisken sköter han sin privilegierade men anspråkslösa tjänst, och registrerar maktens dynamik och strategier.

Berättelsen kan ses som en idéhistorisk genomgång av Ernst Jüngers liv under 1900-talet från Weimarrepublikens demokratiska misslyckande, andra världskriget och den nationalsocialistiska diktaturen, till den tyska förbundsrepubliken, som under 1970-talet utmanas av de vänsterextrema partisanerna i Röda armé-fraktionen. Eumeswil kom i Tyskland ut under den »tyska terrorhösten« 1977.

Huvudpersonen Venator uppfattar sig som anark i motsats till monarken, som binds av sin makt, och anarkisten, som behöver makten just för att bekämpa den. Anarken ställer endast sin maktanspråk mot sig själv, och har förintat stat och samhälle inom sig.

Beginning in 1949, the German novelist and essayist Ernst Jünger began a correspondence with the philosopher Martin Heidegger that lasted until Heidegger’s death in 1975. This volume contains the first English translation of their complete correspondence, as well as letters from Heidegger’s wife and son and others referred to in their correspondence. It also contains a translation of Jünger’s essay Across the Line (Über die Linie), his contribution to a Festschrift celebrating Heidegger’s sixtieth birthday. Jünger’s and Heidegger’s correspondence is of enormous historical interest, revealing how both men came to understand their cultural roles in post-war Europe. It is valuable as well for showing the emergence of themes pervasive in Heidegger’s post-war thought: his cultural and political pessimism and his concern with the problem of global technology. The correspondence also reveals the evolution of a philosophical friendship between two writers central to twentieth century European thought, and the mutual influence that friendship worked on their writing.

Ernst Jünger was one of twentieth-century Germany’s most important—and most controversial—writers. Decorated for bravery in World War I and the author of the acclaimed western front memoir Storm of Steel, he frankly depicted war’s horrors even as he extolled its glories. As a Wehrmacht captain during World War II, Jünger faithfully kept a journal in occupied Paris and continued to write on the eastern front and in Germany until its defeat—writings that are of major historical and literary significance.Jünger’s Paris journals document his Francophile excitement, romantic affairs, and fascination with botany and entomology, alongside mystical and religious ruminations and trenchant observations on the occupation and the politics of collaboration. While working as a mail censor, he led the privileged life of an officer, encountering artists such as Céline, Cocteau, Braque, and Picasso. His notes from the Caucasus depict the chaos after Stalingrad and atrocities on the eastern front. Upon returning to Paris, Jünger observed the French resistance and was close to the German military conspirators who plotted to assassinate Hitler in 1944. After fleeing France, he reunited with his family as Germany’s capitulation approached. Both participant and commentator, close to the horrors of history but often distancing himself from them, Jünger turned his life and experiences into a work of art. These wartime journals appear here in English for the first time, giving fresh insights into the quandaries of the twentieth century from the keen pen of a paradoxical observer.

Written in 1932, just before the fall of the Weimar Republic and on the eve of the Nazi accession to power, Ernst Jünger’s The Worker: Dominion and Form articulates a trenchant critique of bourgeois liberalism and seeks to identify the form characteristic of the modern age. Jünger’s analyses, written in critical dialogue with Marx, are inspired by a profound intuition of the movement of history and an insightful interpretation of Nietzsche’s philosophy.Martin Heidegger considered Jünger “the only genuine follower of Nietzsche,” singularly providing “an interpretation which took shape in the domain of that metaphysics which already determines our epoch, even against our knowledge; this metaphysics is Nietzsche's doctrine of the ‘will to power.’” In The Worker, Jünger examines some of the defining questions of that epoch: the nature of individuality, society, and the state; morality, justice, and law; and the relationships between freedom and power and between technology and nature.This work, appearing in its entirety in English translation for the first time, is an important contribution to debates on work, technology, and politics by one of the most controversial German intellectuals of the twentieth century. Not merely of historical interest, The Worker carries a vital message for contemporary debates about world economy, political stability, and equality in our own age, one marked by unsettling parallels to the 1930s.
