Friedrich Georg Jünger
Friedrich Georg Jünger was a German writer, lawyer, and soldier. In 1916, he volunteered to serve in the German army in World War I and afterwards became involved in the nationalist magazine Widerstand. His public opposition to the Nationalist Socialist Party earned him two interrogations by the Gestapo, and the same year he left Berlin to live in northern Germany with his renowned older brother Ernst Jünger. Throughout his life, Jünger wrote poetry, novels, essays, and short stories, including a translation of the Odyssey. Though often overlooked due to his more famous brother, Jünger’s writings offer invaluable insight into both postwar Germany and the fate of the west.
