EJ, Indian Philosophy and Kind Words from the German Embassy in New Delhi

["Bertil Häggman" <bertil.haggman@helsingborg.se>]

Listmembers,

In 1998 there was a Cultural Counsellor at the German Embassy in New Delhi, Wolfgang von Erffa, who seems to be a devoted reader of Ernst Juenger. In the Embassy "German News" he wrote in the March 1998 issue:

"Ernst Juenger, a giant not only of German, but of world literature, has passed away at the biblical age of 102 years. Von Erffa writes that EJ had studied the Indian philosopher Shri Aurobindo and he calls
for Indian specialists in German literature to research this link between Juenger and India.

Finally von Erffa quotes the British daily newspaper "The Independent" on Ernst Juenger. "The greatest writer of the 20th century". Couldn't have expressed it better myself.

Juengerian greetings
