«Heliópolis» is the dystopian novel by Ernst Jünger, published by Editorial Seix Barral in paperback (422 pages, in Spanish).
In Heliópolis, a future city torn between conservative order and popular power, Lucius de Geer aspires to a harmony outside time; the narrative, combining poem and apologue, allows Ernst Jünger to explore war, power, technology, and human nature.
Work originally published in 1949; this 1998 edition includes a translation by Marciano Villanueva Salas in the Biblioteca Breve collection. Full title: «Heliópolis. Visión retrospectiva de una ciudad».
For readers of dystopian fiction and postwar European literature, interested in philosophical science fiction.
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.
