In her forward for Imperial Woman, Buck says “Western writers, with few exceptions, describe unfavorably and even vindictively.” I find it amazing that Buck realized that at the time. While the novel itself was interesting enough, from a historical perspective, I found the novel sorely wanting. I was interested to see if her version of Cixi would be different than writers today. Buck even says in her forward that she visited remote villages where people thought Cixi was still alive and reigning decades after her death. While Buck was not a contemporary of Cixi, she lived in China while some of Cixi’s contemporaries still lived, and her legacy was still fresh in the minds of the people. Buck had a novel about Cixi, I just had to read her version of this fascinating woman. (You can read my take on Anchee Min’s books here and here and Jung Chang’s here.) Why, yes, this is my fourth review of a book about Cixi. But Jünger kept his distance from the Nazis. Joseph Goebbels also tried to recruit him into the Nazi Party. Hitler greatly admired this activist soldier-writer, and after the Nazis came to power Jünger was offered a seat in the Reichstag and in the German Academy of Poetry. Jünger’s intimate contacts with the Nazis did not help his reputation. And he wrote many tracts defending martial and aristocratic ideals. Jünger was also chastised for supporting the militarist right during the chaotic interwar years. He was quickly criticized for extolling war and violence. In Stahlgewittern (Storm of Steel) was the most famous. He was a highly decorated soldier in World War I and parlayed his experiences into several best-selling books. Ernst Jünger was a man of the right whose life and ideas were and remain controversial, especially with the liberal academic-literary establishment.Ĭontroversy began soon after the start of Jünger’s writing career. Language is one reason, politics the other. Telos has been actively promoting Jünger because he is an important modern writer who has received little recognition in the English-speaking world despite his massive output. The book, first published in 1977, has been reissued by Telos Press, which has already republished four of Jünger’s other works. Throughout his long career he wrote novels, essays, memoirs, travelogues, and political tracts that examined the meaning of the massive social changes of that most violent century. Ernst Jünger (1895–1998) was twentieth-century Germany’s most prolific writer. |
