Description

In Ernst Jünger: A Different European Destiny, Dominique Venner offers a captivating biography and a profound analysis of one of Europe’s most enigmatic right-wing thinkers and writers. Ernst Jünger, the decorated soldier, philosopher, and literary giant, lived through and reflected upon some of the most defining moments of the 20th century, from the trenches of World War One and occupied Paris in World War Two to the intellectual upheavals of postwar Europe. His works, imbued with themes of heroism, discipline, and existential challenge, resonate with those who seek to overcome the limitations of a degenerate modernity.

Venner explores not only Jünger’s extraordinary life but also the philosophical underpinnings of his most celebrated writings. Through this dual approach, Venner sheds light on Jünger’s unique worldview – one shaped by war, myth, and a search for meaning in a world increasingly marked by technology and conformity.

Dominique Venner

Dominique Venner (1935–2013) was a French writer and historian. He wrote over fifty books about history, specialising in the history of weapons and hunting. He served as a paratrooper during the Algerian War, and was jailed for 18 months for his involvement with the Organisation of the Secret Army, which sought to retain French Algeria through armed insurrection. He was subsequently involved in a decade of intense political activism, and also worked with Alain de Benoist’s ‘New Right’ organisation, GRECE. Before his decision to publicly end his life in 2013, the goal of which was to awaken the minds of his European compatriots, he was in charge of the Nouvelle Revue de l'Histoire. His last book, Un Samouraï d'Occident, was published shortly after his death. (Go to author page)
