On the Marble Cliffs
Language: English
Published by New York Review Books Jan 2023, 2023
ISBN 10: 1681376253 ISBN 13: 9781681376257
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Now in a new translation, a darkly radiant fable about a pair of brothers, formerly warriors, whose idyll is shattered by an encroaching fascistic force.Set in a world of its own, Ernst Jünger's On the Marble Cliffs is both a mesmerizing work of fantasy and an allegory of the advent of fascism. The narrator of the book and his brother, Otho, live in an ancient house carved out of the great marble cliffs that overlook the Marina, a great and beautiful lake that is surrounded by a peaceable land of ancient cities and temples and flourishing vineyards. To the north of the cliffs are the grasslands of the Campagna, occupied by herders. North of that, the great forest begins. There the brutal Head Forester rules, abetted by the warrior bands of the Mauretanians. The brothers have seen all too much of war. Their youth was consumed in fighting. Now they have resolved to live quietly, studying botany, adding to their herbarium, consulting the books in their library, involving themselves in the timeless pursuit of knowledge. However, rumors of dark deeds begin to reach them in their sanctuary. Agents of the Head Forester are infiltrating the peaceful provinces he views with contempt, while peace itself, it seems, may only be a mask for heedlessness. Tess Lewis's new translation of Jünger's sinister fable of 1939 brings out all of this legendary book's dark luster.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Translated from the German by Stuart Hood. Publisher's original blue cloth; stamped in black to spine. 120pp. Cloth faded and very slightly soiled; edges a little rubbed. Lacking dust jacket. *** Scarce first English edition of Junger's debut novel, published in Germany on the brink of the Second World War. The book is often seen allegory of totalitarian politics and criticism of Hitler's National Socialism. Until the publication of this novel, Junger was best known for his non-fiction, including his World War 1 memoir Storm of Steel. The novel somehow escaped the censors, probably because Junger was well respected in Nazi circles.

On The Marble Cliffs.
Published by London, John Lehmann 1947., 1947
Seller: Larsen Books, Exeter, NSW, Australia
Association Member: ANZAAB ILAB
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition
First edition. Hardcover. A bit of edge foxing and some light offsetting on the endpapers, a neat ownership signature on the top corner of the front free endpaper, otherwise very good in very good dustjacket with a couple small professional tears (sterling price intact). Translated from the German by Stuart Hood. A novel published in Junger's homeland just before WWII (in a 'magic realism' style, a strange drama that developes into an unmistakeable parable of the impetus to evil of the emerging Nazi regime)--a study of the essential nature of tyranny. The UK edition in the strikingly illustrated jacket by Leonard Rosoman is uncommon.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good +. Dust Jacket Condition: good. First American Edition, 1st Printing. First American Edition, 1st Printing. Hardcover. A presentable first American printing of Ernst Juenger's first novel, a "mesmerizing work of fantasy and an allegory of the advent of fascism" (New York Review of Books). Shockingly originally published in 1939 in Germany, decorated WWI German soldier Ernst Juenger's first novel is set in a serene agricultural society undergoing upheaval and ruin through the strategies by which tyranny and authoritarianism take power. As the front flap of its notoriously fragile dust jacket notes: "It is hard to understand how On the Marble Cliffs could have been published in the Germany of 1939. For although it is an allegory, its intention can hardly have been mistaken; it is a study of the nature of tyranny, showing by what processes a totalitarian regime wins its hold over a free people," even unto the portrayal or perhaps prediction of the death camps Hitler's Germany would become infamous for. 7 5/8" X 5 1/4". v, 120pp. Presents nicely in protective archival sleeved jacket. Fragile original dust jacket shows long splits along edge of spine at front panel, still attached, with chipping to head and tail of spine and at edges and folds, and neat tear to upper marging of rear panel, with no losses. Front flap clipped, but price present on rear flap. Bound in blue cloth over boards, with spine lettered in black. Gentle rubbing and bumping to extremities. Toning to endpapers. Binding is firm and sound. Pages are clean and unmarked. From the rear cover: "Juenger showed great courage in publishing this book at the time he did, for it is a balance sheet of the depravity, the nihilism, and the destruction of all moral values that were the Hitler regime; it marked, however, a complete break with the author's past. It is an anti-Nazi document, but it is also one of the most beautiful novels of the imagination of modern Germany, an allegory of the death of a civilization in the grand symbolist manner." Louis Clair, review for The Nation, March 1948. "I regard On The Marble Cliffs as a little masterpiece, recording the struggle of the human spirit in our time. I know Juenger's earlier record, and I know that he flirted for a time in the antechambers of Nazi thinking. But that's why this book of his, written on the high tide of Hitler's power comes with all the greater force as an intellectual and moral rejection of any form of tyranny. It is a dense and yet somehow luminous allegory. It has an almost insupportable richness of language and imagery. It could not have been written except by a man within whose own heart the deepest forces of our time have fought it out like a coil of wild serpents. This book is one of the few literary monuments that stand out on the desert waste of Hitler's Germany." Max Lerner.

Some faint offsetting to spine and endpapers, owners's names to FFEP and their bookplate to front pastedown, otherwise an exceedingly and uncommonly clean and fresh copy with sharp edges; the notoriously fragile DJ is torn nearly through along the rear hinge, a bit off loss to tips and a small puncture the the spine between 'The' and 'Marble'. 'Juenger showed great courage in publishing this book at the time he did, for it is a balance sheet of the depravity, the nihilism, and the destruction of all moral values that were the Hitler regime; it marked, however, a complete break with the author's past.
