Ernst Jünger: Between the Gods and the Titans

Ernst Jünger (1895-1998) was a soldier, an adventurer, and one of the most prolific and celebrated European writers of the twentieth century. Jünger's most famous works include:

• His First World War memoir Storm of Steel (1920)
• His treatise on technology and modernity The Worker (1932)
• His dystopian novel On the Marble Cliffs (1939)

Alain de Benoist has crafted an ideal introduction to Jünger's long life and vast body of work. In this volume, Benoist:

• Illuminates the central figures in Jünger's works: the Soldier, the Worker, the Rebel, and the Anarch
• Devotes special attention to The Worker
• Explores Jünger's debts to Nietzsche and Spengler
• Examines Jünger's relationship to the German Conservative Revolutionary movement
• Discusses his dialogues with Heidegger, Drieu la Rochelle, and his brother Friedrich Georg Jünger

This is more than just a scholarly survey of the history of ideas. Benoist also draws upon his friendship and correspondence with Jünger, inviting you to join their conversation.
