Dear Juengerites: English-language readers of Juenger may be interested to know that two of his essays are to be found in NEW GERMAN CRITIQUE No.59, 1993, 24-32. They are "War and Photography," his introduction to a collection of WWI photographs, DAS ANTLITZ DES KRIEGES, which is listed in the Library of Congress catalog, and "On Danger" from DIE GEFAEHRLICHE AUGENBLICK. They are included in the midst of a few essays on Juenger. Perhaps many of you already know of these translations, but they were a discovery for me. Does anyone know whether any portions of DAS SANDUHRBUCH and AN DER ZEITMAUER have appeared in English? I can manage German, but it goes much more slowly than English. Another question: Has Juenger ever been translated into Russian? Juenger impresses me a calm and independent voice in the midst of meaningless noise and media babble. Gary Kern
