About this book

Ernst Jünger führt in der »Zeitmauer« Gedanken seines »Arbeiter«-Essays fort; so schrieb er 1959 in einem Brief: Das Buch hat sich zu einer Fortsetzung von ›Der Arbeiter‹ entwickelt, führt allerdings in neue Richtungen. Das Thema ist ungefähr die Schilderung der Überwältigung der Weltrevolution durch Erdrevolution. Manches davon deutete sich bereits im ›Arbeiter‹ an.«

Quotes by Ernst Jünger

From Wikiquote

We had come from lecture halls, school desks and factory workbenches, and over the brief weeks of training, we had bonded together into one large and enthusiastic group. Grown up in an age of security, we shared a yearning for danger, for the experience of the extraordinary. We were enraptured by war.
Habent sua fata libelli et balli [Books and bullets have their own destinies]
This was the home of the great god Pain, and for the first time I looked through a devilish chink into the depths of his realm. And fresh shells came down all the time.
