It might be a problem of my translation, since English is not my first language.
What he means is that, for Roger Caillois, both war and carnival are ways of transgressing and breaking with the sacred. Bataille addresses carnival and eroticism, while Junger addresses war. The main idea is summarized in the last paragraph.
As for the idea of glorifying war from an apolitical perspective, it comes from Junger in his youth (just consider that he joined the French Foreign Legion and later fought for Germany in WW1).
Also, thanks for the recommendation.

What difference does it make? Would it really make a difference if the same article had been published in a book?

>War is good

I met the thought that Junger became a kind of libertarian by old age. Is it so?

What is your favorite literature by nationality and period as well as other factors (e.g. Italian Renaissance Poetry, 19th Century Russian novelists, Enlightenment era French playwrights etc)? Which authors represent that literary niche? I feel like I'm a pleb as long as I haven't found a literary niche I fit into, even basic bitch Shakespeare thots are more patrician than me. Don't want to be a dilettante anymore.

What should I read next Junger wise? I've read both Storm of Steel and The Glass Bees, and thoroughly enjoyed both. I'm just wondering where I should go from there.

Also, discussion thread on Junger I suppose.
