Non mi interessa. Anche questo racconto ripreso in mano per la terza volta piú per senso dell'ordine ( é sullo scaffale da molto tempo e voglio togliermelo di torno) che per interesse genuino. Bam! Colpita e affondata. Superomismo, etica dell'eroismo guerrafondaio? Ok, ok.Ma c'é una vita aperta come una ferita che pulsa feroce con parole che bruciano. Sembra l'alba selvaggia del mondo che noi, ormai, vecchi e disincantati pantofolai, con malinconia e con sollievo possiamo rimpiangere senza desiderare. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Is contained in
"Set in 1916 in the days before the Somme offensive, Ernst Ju?nger's Sturm provides a vivid portrait of the front-line experiences of four German infantry officers and their company. A highly cultivated man and an acute observer of his era, the eponymous Lieutenant Sturm entertains his friends during lulls in the action with readings from his literary sketches. The text's forays into philosophical and social commentary address many of the themes of Ju?nger's early work, such as the nature of war, death, heroism, the phenomenon of Rausch, and mass society"-- No library descriptions found. |
