Recommend me a book by Ernest Junger. Preferably his later work, I am trying to wean myself off of late 19th/interbellum lit. If a Dutch translation exists it is a pro, but not necessary.

Have you read On The Marble Cliffs? That's the only thing I've read besides Storm of Steel and I really enjoyed it.

also holy shit I didn't think about how young Junger was when he wrote Storm of Steel until now

Junger died in 1998. How fucking insane is that? I was alive at the same time as Junger. How is this possible?

How is his post-WWII stuff?

can you read?

He said he's only read On the Marble Cliffs and Storm of Steel, neither of which is post-WWII.

His journals during ww2 is the best he has written after Storm, if you want novels then read Heliopolis or Eumeswil. If drug-themed essays and anecdotes sounds interesting then you should read Approaches: Drugs and Intoxication. Visit to Godenholm and The Glass Bees are really god novellas of his

The Forest Passage (Der Waldgang), then Eumeswil

Thanks, I'll start with The Glass Bees as technology as a theme greatly interests me. Found all his book as pdf's, can't believe that Stormfront actually saved me mony.
