A novel, translated from the German by Joachim Neugroschel. Afterword by Martin Meyer. A philosophical novel in which a former Soviet naval officer confronts the absurdities of life after leaving the military. Jünger (1895 1998) was a German author, soldier, and essayist, one of the most provocative and stylistically distinctive writers of the 20th century. He first gained fame for his World War I memoir "Storm of Steel," and later explored themes of technology, war, and nihilism in works such as "The Glass Bees," "Heliopolis," "On the Marble Cliffs," and "Eumeswil." Known for his precise, crystalline prose and his controversial political and philosophical positions, Jünger produced a body of work spanning eight decades, blending autobiography, fiction, and speculative thought. "Aladdin's Problem" is one of his late-career novels, published when he was an established literary elder in Europe and a recipient of major German literary honors. Though he never joined the Nazi Party, he served as an officer in the Wehrmacht during World War II and was courted by the regime for his nationalist reputation. He remained independent, sometimes critical of Hitler. Artikel-Nr. Fiction-Junger
