Description:Winner of the 2016 IPPY Silver Award in Military/Wartime FictionHonorable Mention at 2015 London Book FestivalSet in 1916 in the days before the Somme offensive, Ernst Jünger's Sturm provides a vivid portrait of the front-line experiences of four German infantry officers and their company. A highly cultivated man and an acute observer of his era, the eponymous Lieutenant Sturm entertains his friends during lulls in the action with readings from his literary sketches. The text's forays into philosophical and social commentary address many of the themes of Jünger's early work, such as the nature of war, death, heroism, the phenomenon of Rausch, and mass society.Originally published in installments in the Hannoverscher Kurier in 1923, Sturm fell into obscurity until 1960, when it was re-discovered and subsequently re-published by Hans Peter des Coudres, a scholar of Jünger's work. This translation—the first to be published in English—brings to the English-speaking world a work of literature of interest not only to students of Jünger's work and of World War I, but to any reader in search of a powerful story of war and its effects on the lives of the men who endure it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
