Hi Adam,

In German, you can get almost all his books online, even through Amazon.de.

In English, a little more difficult. "Eumeswil" is available here:

Saw you have many quotes from "EUMESWIL" - you got them from ebook, maybe? I ask beacuse, here in Poland, nobody publish that book. I'm looking for some other Jungers books; I have read "On the Marble Cliffs" and The Adventurous Heart and I'm totaly charmed.

If you can help me please contact me: irraka@o2.pl

Of course there are similarities between the Anarch and The Differentiated Man (and between Jünger and Evola), but Evola is much more elitist (fascist) than Jünger.

Jünger basically says that freedom is right in front of you, if you know how to grasp and use it. And that you can use any (authentic) method from tradition (or one of its modern incarnations) to free yourself. The reason

JD and Baroh:

I can't agree that the differentiated man of Evola and the anarch are radically different. In the most important dimension, their substance, their ontological being, they are very similar.

Moreover, while Evola certainly does look too-longingly back to the golden past in many of his works, in "Ride the Tiger" his strategy for the differentiated

JD: That is a sharp observation. The Anarch is not longing for or referring to a lost "Golden Age". That is the difference between Evolas differentiated man and Jüngers Anarch.

Otherwise I agree that Evolas work is very obscure and very difficult to read. It requires your full attention, sentence by sentence.

On a side note i will mention a youtube video of Evola

Thanks for the comments, JD - I'd like to hear more of your views on this blog.

Sure, Evola's primary theme is Tradition. But I don't see a necessary conflict between the two figures of Anarch and 'differentiated man', at least not in the present world and in the context of what Evola writes in "Ride the Tiger", where he deals specifically with strategies

I cannot claim any expertise on Evola - much of his work is too obscure for me - but from what I've been able to absorb I believe that his "differentiated man" is radically different from Jünger's anarch, though I'll grant you the two might appear identical to an outside observer.

Evola's most prominent theme is capital-T Tradition, which seems to be a

Hello Again

it is true that Friedrich Baroh fascinates me. To me he is a cross between Martin Venator and Richard Knecht.

I would like to know more about the following statement:

"One must consider the risk, I agree. Madness is one danger, if the level of detachment does not match the level of awakening, the sense of new world not balance the loss of the old

I believe I understand exactly how you feel - I was not lucky (or ready) to read Jünger as a teenager, but since I began about 15 years ago it has changed my life completely.

Without Eumeswil, Aladdin´s Problem, An der Zeitmauer, Glass Bees, where would I have found a point of orientation in this world - certainly not from all the confused, inconsistent, merely imaginative noise

I have read Jüngers work from when I was a teenager and it has had a lifechanging effect on me. Without him i wouldn't be the person that i am today. It's nice to see that someone wants to share his thoughts on the author.

However the particular aspect of his thinking, that you are talking about, is more dangerous, to ones mental health, than one might expect. It is a very
