Ulrich,

Is Das Schicksal translated into English, and how short is it?  I am
looking for a work in German 60-70 pages that would be suitable for a
bilingual publication--i.e., 120-140 pages (but 140-200 is also
possible).  Xenos Books, with which I am associated, does such
publications, but so far has only Spanish-English and Italian-English;
it needs a German-English, and Salomon's book sounds interesting. 
Jünger's works are out, because I anticipate problems with his agent,
his publisher, etc.  Xenos is very small.  Click the link above for
Xenos Books.
