JuÌnger's seeming moral ambiguities have made him the subject of much controversy in his home country. He has long been the subject of a series of highly charged debates about his work, and his presentation with the Goethe Prize (Germany's highest literary honor) in 1982 revived an old charge that JuÌnger had helped pave the way for fascism. The French, however, regard him as Germany's greatest twentieth-century author. JuÌnger's war diaries are important historical documents. He rejoined the army in 1941 and was sent to Paris, where he was in a unique position to observe the German occupation of France from the point of view of an occupier, but one who was not blinded by Nazi ideology. The First Paris Diary begins in 1941, when JuÌnger began his war duties as a mail censor of the occupying regime, and ends in October of 1942, as he leaves Paris to travel to the Eastern Front. Through his high-level contacts, JuÌnger was aware of the situation on the Eastern front and the atrocities being committed there. He was also a member of a secret circle of aristocratic officers, led by Rommel, who opposed Hitler's conduct of the war and were conspiring to arrest him in France in 1944 and turn him over to allies in exchange for lenient armistice conditions. In addition to descriptions of his official duties, the diaries describe JuÌnger's wanderings through Parisian bookshops and cafes, his conversations at salons with French intellectuals, and his reflections on books and nature (he was a trained biologist)"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a JuÌnger, Ernst, $d 1895-1998 $v Diaries. 600 10 $a JuÌnger, Ernst, $d 1895-1998 $x Homes and haunts $z Paris. $z Paris. 600 17 $a JuÌnger, Ernst, $d 1895-1998. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00013244 650 0 $a Authors, German $y 20th century $v Diaries. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x History $y 1940-1944. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Germany $x History $y 1945-1955. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 700 1 $a Hansen, Thomas S. $q (Thomas Stansfield), $e translator. 700 1 $a Hansen, Abby J., $d 1945- $e translator. 700 1 $a Neaman, Elliot Yale, $d 1957- $e writer of foreword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a JuÌnger, Ernst, 1895-1998, author. $t German officer in occupied Paris $d New York : Columbia University Press, [2018] $z 9780231548380 $w (DLC) 2018042867 941 $a 4 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013735.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017015218.0 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20200730011121.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20191026010148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=607AB6F426B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
