Just a few words regarding the Association Eumeswil's Web Site - thanks John for adding us to your great site, but your Italian really is not up to your German! Or are you mixing up the two as I always do ... "Assoziatione "?! Just joking. The pages have been translated into English now - German will be forthcoming. As of this moment, our materials cover mostly what is happening in Florence. John's site seems to be the international forum for Ernst Junger. But we do hope that the world sees our efforts and not just Florentines, so please look and comment as well please. Personally I hope that the mailing list gets going again - I would especially be interested in any comments on Aladdin's Problem and Junger's vision in this book on the restoration of a cult of the dead in our world. This neccessity appeals to me intuitively and also purely logically. Yet it seems to me that we are not quite ready for that phase yet - especially here in North America where the Titanic world is only now beginning to mature, only now coming to see the power that is coming its way. How can we think of death in the drunken heights of our power? And yet, it is true that mythologically speaking the Titans' moment is brief, they are tragically destined. Perhaps this book is not as futuristic as it seems... perhaps it is one of Junger's books that speaks most directly about this moment and the near future - much more contemporary than Eumeswil for example.Comments? Can anyone see any sign of a returning cult of the dead in our world? Thomas Friese
