Translated from the German by Joachim Neugroschel. Originally published by Klett-Cotta, Stuttgart, in 1977, Eumeswil is the great novel of Jünger's creative maturity, a dystopian fantasy set in a citadel-stronghold of the future and narrated by a young historian and servant of the ruling tyrant. At once tale, essay and philosophical poem, it offers a desolate and lucid assessment of totalitarianism by an author who witnessed its horrors first-hand. During his centenarian lifetime, Jünger was awarded the Iron Cross I. Class, Pour le Mérite, Grand Merit Cross, Schiller Memorial Prize, Goethe Prize, and the Maximillian Order, among many military and literary distinctions.
