In 'The Slingshot', Ernst Jünger introduces us to Teo and Clamor, two playmates and study partners with opposing personalities. Teo, a strong and dominant spirit, imposes himself on Clamor, a fearful and sensitive dreamer. Clamor, influenced by Teo's strong temperament, follows him on his adventures in a world that is foreign to him and that could destroy him. The novel asks whether these two children represent the two strokes of the slingshot, an instrument that is both weapon and game, and that evokes an unsettling dangerousness.
Ernst Jünger was a German author, soldier, philosopher, and entomologist who became publicly known for his World War I memoir Storm of Steel. A prolific writer of over forty books, Jünger wrote particularly in the furtherance of conservatism and against what he perceived as the spiritual oppression of man.
