On the Marble Cliffs

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.
