Author of Nazi Paris, a Choice Academic Book of the Year, Allan
Mitchell has researched a companion volume concerning the acclaimed
and controversial German author Ernst Junger who, if not the
greatest German writer of the twentieth century, certainly was the
most controversial. His service as a military officer during the
occupation of Paris, where his principal duty was to mingle with
French intellectuals such as Jean Cocteau and with visiting German
celebrities like Martin Heidegger, was at the center of disputes
concerning his career. Spending more than three years in the French
capital, he regularly recorded in a journal revealing impressions
of Parisian life and also managed to establish various meaningful
social contacts, with the intriguing Sophie Ravoux for one. By
focusing on this episode, the most important of Junger's adult
life, the author brings to bear a wide reading of journals and
correspondence to reveal Junger's professional and personal
experience in wartime and thereafter. This new perspective on the
war years adds significantly to our understanding of France's
darkest hour.
