I got the Forest Passage/Eumeswil combo off of Lulu. Haven't had a chance to read it yet. Got it after trying my hand at The Worker and finding it impenetrable

a friend of mine loved storm of steel and that one seems to be his most popular. maybe check that one out if worker is impenetrable?

The hardcover has a misprint on the spine, Eusmewil or something like that.

I've been thinking too much lately, I'm not long for death. Philosophy as it stands as an interest has lost its spontaneity, and though my originality as a thinker has been no higher, I am least happy, and think perhaps I am most productive in this frame only when depressful. My thought is also beginning to fade into fantasy, and I believe I am already dead.

In contemplating the one "pre-eminent in all action" as my ideal, I have become its very opposite.

>In expressing the characters’ motivation I felt I had to maintain an uncommonly delicate balance; naturally my hero cannot appear to be totally unconscious; rather I have tried to portray Siegfried as the most complete man I could conceive of, whose highest awareness is that all awareness can only be expressed in the utmost immediacy of life and action.

The worker is basically a traditionalist aristocrat's positive critique of worker socialism and national socialism, a weird read for sure, considering socialists of all stripes hated that kind of thing. It is definitely a strange artifact in that even at the time it was not instructive or appealing to anyone.
Forest Passage is a more straightforward look at social pressure in totalitarian societies and how one can sidestep it; Eumeswil continues on this theme in the form of an alt-history novel.

It was mostly the intense focus on Germany, Germaness, etc., as an Anglo man I couldn't help but think "This really wasn't written for me to understand"
I also doubt a modern German would necessarily understand what it meant to be German when Junger wrote it, but that's an aside.

Heidegger studied it for ten years. What are you even talking about?
