German author and soldier (1895–1998), noted for his World War I memoir In Stahlgewittern (Nelle Tempeste d'Acciaio) and essays on technology, modernity and the figure of the rebel. He had an early nationalist orientation and a complex, contested relationship with Nazism; later he remained an influential and debated intellectual figure associated in part with Martin Heidegger's circle.

Born 29 March 1895; died 17 February 1998.

Reviews praise Jünger for vivid war writing and a provocative essayistic diagnosis of modernity. They note his early sympathy for nationalist ideas and later distancing from Nazism. Core themes: technology, the massified bourgeois world, solitude, myth, and confrontation with death.

For:Readers of war memoirs, essays on modernity, and 20th-century European literature.

 One of the best Horror books because, deep down, war is frightening now, but back then, people thought more of heroism rather than the hedonism that prevails in our society.
