In 'On the Marble Cliffs', Ernst Jünger presents us with a visionary and symbolic novel. The story narrates the destruction of the Marina, a prosperous and civilized country dedicated to agriculture. To the north, the marble cliffs separate the Marina from the Campaign, home to shepherds. The narrator and his brother Otón live in the Hermitage of the Rudas, retired after a war. Peace is threatened by the Chief Forester, whose kingdom in the forests hides horrors. The discovery of the 'shed of the skinners' unleashes a war against the hosts of the Chief Forester, exploring themes of tyranny and resistance in a world on the brink of the abyss.
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.
