Jünger's seeming moral ambiguities have made him the subject of much controversy in his home country. He has long been the subject of a series of highly charged debates about his work, and his presentation with the Goethe Prize (Germany's highest literary honor) in 1982 revived an old charge that Jünger had helped pave the way for fascism. The French, however, regard him as Germany's greatest twentieth-century author. Jünger's war diaries are important historical documents. He rejoined the army in 1941 and was sent to Paris, where he was in a unique position to observe the German occupation of France from the point of view of an occupier, but one who was not blinded by Nazi ideology. The First Paris Diary begins in 1941, when Jünger began his war duties as a mail censor of the occupying regime, and ends in October of 1942, as he leaves Paris to travel to the Eastern Front. Through his high-level contacts, Jünger was aware of the situation on the Eastern front and the atrocities being committed there. He was also a member of a secret circle of aristocratic officers, led by Rommel, who opposed Hitler's conduct of the war and were conspiring to arrest him in France in 1944 and turn him over to allies in exchange for lenient armistice conditions. In addition to descriptions of his official duties, the diaries describe Jünger's wanderings through Parisian bookshops and cafes, his conversations at salons with French intellectuals, and his reflections on books and nature (he was a trained biologist)"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Jünger, Ernst, |d1895-1998 |vDiaries. 600 10 Jünger, Ernst, |d1895-1998 |xHomes and haunts |zFrance |zParis. 600 17 Jünger, Ernst, |d1895-1998. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00013244 650 0 Authors, German |y20th century |vDiaries. 651 0 Paris (France) |xHistory |y1940-1944. 651 0 Paris (France) |xIntellectual life |y20th century. 651 0 Germany |xHistory |y1945-1955. 650 7 Authors, German. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00822051 650 7 Homes. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353235 650 7 Intellectual life. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00975769 651 7 France |zParis. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01205283 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 Diaries. |2lcgft 655 7 Diaries. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423794 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Autobiographies. |2lcgft 700 1 |iTranslation of :Jünger, Ernst, |d1895-1998. |tStrahlungen. |lEnglish. 700 1 Hansen, Thomas S. |q(Thomas Stansfield), |etranslator. 700 1 Hansen, Abby J., |d1945- |etranslator. 700 1 Neaman, Elliot Yale, |d1957- |ewriter of foreword. 776 08 |iOnline version:Jünger, Ernst, 1895-1998, author. |tGerman officer in occupied Paris |dNew York : Columbia University Press, [2018] |z9780231548380 |w(DLC) 2018042867 830 0 European perspectives. 852 0 |bstacks |hPT2619.U43 |iS813 2018
