/lit/ - Literature

junger sucks, and this book especially

based on a deeply vulgar reading of stirner and padded in some of the most pretentious, self-righteous bullshit writing of all time. junger was sucking his own dick so incredibly hard you can find spots of cum in every copy of this dogshit novel. that said, it does have some fairly memorable quotes.
>People convince one another that the world is impefect. Then they send out calls for help and flash beacons of hope. It makes no difference whether Hercules cleans out the Augean stables or a mailman his pigeon house. And the stars draw no closer no matter what pedestal one gets up on
all in all, 4/10

One of the best discussions on /lit/

To attempt to answer the original question first, one might say that the anarch is opposed to society for power. He is not opposed to power in itself, but rather the form it has taken on. This is effectively the position a good adviser must take on to effect both power and his loyalty to the monarch.
Similarly, the monarch does place his own concerns foremost: 'he who wears the crown does not rest lightly.' The monarchist tends to focus on the monarch, the worldly power represented within the monarchy - order and law. The monarch must understand sovereignty, that is, power which will reign even in his absence.
The anarch is thus the final dominion of power in a society that has desecrated its form. The impossibility of Antigone to even pursue burial rites. Prometheus can warn Zeus what is to come, but a mortal may not take the same path.

The anarchist, in contrast, is opposed to power in itself. This takes on an absurdity once one realises that the modern form is already opposed to state power. Tilting at windmills. Whereas the anarch understands that he must wait and seize power when it appears, or even preserve power as form even if it dies with him. Cato.

is this really the only sci fi / fantasy novel that doesn't have 100 different le epic cookiecutter characters you have to remember?

Storm of Steel was a big one, but this was the ultimate for me. Going in having read Stirner, Nietzsche, and Emerson already was ideal.

Same type of cope

Sad.

got eumeswil yesterday. considering getting storm of steel for christmas. any litfags read junger? enjoy eumeswil? It's a shame there aren't any hardcover copies left though, the cover is kino. was able to get a softcover at a reasonable price on amazon though.

Just got my copy of pic related. I was curious about Jünger's idea of the anarch: "the inwardly-free individual who lives quietly and dispassionately within but not of society and the world. The Anarch is a metaphysical ideal figure of a sovereign individual."

Has anyone read this? What am I in for?
Can anyone share other books dealing with a similar concept?

So there was this amazing Junger thread here last month where this anon came in and gave an impromptu shitpost lecture concerning Junger, and even tipped his hat to the Arcades Project. Before reading this Anon's posts I had not been made aware of Junger's concept of the Anarch, but I had of my own volition come to exceedingly similar ideas. I am now only several chapters into Eumeswil and I am convinced this may be one of the greatest works of literature ever produced by the human mind. Once again, thank you Based Junger Anon, you are the hero that /lit/ deserves, but not the one it needs right now, so they'll call you a schizo-poster, sick the wojak posters on you, because you're not our hero, you're a salient Anarch, a dutiful soldier, a based and redpilled Junger poster.
