An analysis of how a political myth is taken and treated as a
metaphor that reflects how a country like Germany built
its own destiny. In the decades before the rise of the Third Reich,
“Secret Germany” was a phrase used by the circle of writers
around the poet Stefan George to describe a collective political
and poetic project: the introduction of the highest values of art
into everyday life, the secularization of myth and the
mythologization of history. In this book, Furio Jesi takes up the
term in order to trace the contours of that political, artistic,
and aesthetic thread as it runs through German literary and
artistic culture in the period—which, in the 1930s, became
absorbed by Nazism as part of its prophecy of a triumphant future.
Drawing on thinkers like Carl Jung and writers such as Thomas Mann
and Rainer Maria Rilke, Jesi reveals a literary genre that was
transformed, tragically, into a potent political myth.
