I think it's Piper Verlag.

well, there's always my thesis ;-) Currently looks like it will be pretty
much exculsively on the First World War - I#ve just realised that there's
a lot more to be said on "Feuer und Blut" and "Das Waeldchen 125" than I'd
previously thought. 

Elliott Yale Neaman's thesis from BErkeley has also been overhauled and is
due out next year at University of California Press. It deals with the
political aspects of EJ reception in the post-War Federal Republic.

The proceedings of the recent Heidelberg Conference will probably be
published. I don't know where or when yet - but we're meant ot have our
homework in by December :-)

And last but not least fresh off the presses is the new EJ biography.

Paul Noack, "Ernst Juenger. Eine Biographie" (Berlin: Alexander Fest
Verlag, 1998), 328pp, DM 49,80.

I haven't read it yet. A review by Albert von Schirnding can be found in
the Feuilleton of today's "Sueddeutsche Zeitung".

And whilst I'm at it I might as well through in another rumour - Hannse
Heer of the Hamburger Institut fuer Sozialforschung has allegedly recently
been spotted in Freiburg at the Bundesmilitaerarchiv allegedly checking
out material relating to EJ's journeys in the Caucasus during the Second
World War. THere may be a book on EJ on the way from the Reemtsma boys...

That's the latest from the front....

Best wishes,

JK
