Your taste in literature is exemplary.; 18 May, 2010 17:39

Simon Friedrich said...: Glass Bees is excellent as far as its prognoses on technology, Marble Cliff for its timeless insights into tyranny, be it German, Soviet, American whatever.

But if you stop there, you're missing the best stuff, which is what so often happens with Juenger. Above all read Eumeswil and learn how to be an anarch in this flattened, collectivized world.

And then visit my blog for discussion of the Anarch.

@ Simon Friedrich: I think that in The Marble Cliffs, Jünger is alredy taking the "anarch" way , in opposite of his preceding war writtings.; 26 May, 2010 01:26
