ERNST Jünger (1895–1998), who lived a long and fulfilling life, became one of Germany's most admired literary figures. He is best remembered for his detailed memoirs as a lieutenant and commander in the First World War, a period which is forever immortalised in 'The Storm of Steel' (1920). Jünger, who was heavily decorated for his wartime exploits, was also a leading German intellectual and produced several philosophical novels, among them 'On the Marble Cliffs' (1939), 'Heliopolis' (1949), 'The Glass Bees' (1957), 'Eumeswil' (1977), 'Aladdin's Problem' (1983) and 'A Dangerous Encounter' (1985). Another dimension to Ernst Jünger was his interest in politics and a firm opposition to both democracy and liberalism. In association with men such as Oswald Spengler, Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, Ernst von Salomon, Carl Schmitt and Ernst Niekisch, he performed a leading role in the ranks of the Conservative Revolution. First published in 2012, the essays in this revised and reformatted volume are now in high demand. Chapters include Ernst Jünger: A Portrait of An Anarch; The Balkanization of the System: Ernst Jünger and the Endtimes; Jünger and the Third Reich; “Between the Gods and the Titans”; Ernst Jünger as an Icon of “the Fascist Style”: The Ideological and Biographical Implications; East & West: Ernst Jünger's Der gordische Knoten; and A Charmed Life: The Military Adventures of Ernst Jünger. The contributors include Troy Southgate, K.R. Bolton, Keith Preston, Tomislav Sunic, Elena Semenyaka, Dimitris Michalopoulos, Alain De Benoist and Julius Evola.

TWELVE years after its first appearence, Black Front Press has decided to republish a popular collection of speeches that were addressed to the London New Right between 2006 and 2011. The talks, which have been transcribed by some of those who were fortunate enough to attend the events prior to Jonathan's untimely death in March 2012, are informative, passionate, dynamic and often very funny, each revealing the full extent of the man's oratorical prowess, great intellectual bearing and ability to speak without notes on a whole range of cultural and philosophical topics. The speeches on offer in this superb collection include discussions on William Butler Yeats, Savitri Devi, Ezra Pound, Marxism and the Frankfurt School, George Orwell, Howard Phillips Lovecraft and Martin Heidegger. Here, for posterity, are Jonathan Bowden's inimitable thoughts and commentaries on some of the greatest figures of the modern age.

AFTER publishing two earlier volumes on Anthroposophy, Black Front Press is proud to present a further text in which the work of Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925) is examined in relation to the important lectures he delivered between October and November 1918, just as the First World War was grinding to a halt. With a blend of charismatic mysticism and fascinating detail, the Austrian was eager to illustrate the development of consciousness as it has unfolded during the course of human history. Covering both ancient and modern events, among them the French Revolution and the rise of Russian Bolshevism, Steiner traces the role of the supersensible and the coming of the 'Consciousness Soul'. As Troy Southgate explains, Steiner's thought offers us an illuminating and remarkable study of a dimension of human character that is so often neglected by mainstream academia. Oscillating between historical worlds like the thrilling adventures of a fictional time-traveller, Steiner's thought provides us with a crucial understanding of the spiritual life of mankind at a time when such ideas are in huge demand.

HORKHEIMER, Adorno, Grünberg, Habermas, Benjamin, Fromm, Marcuse... these are the names of the philosophers and intellectuals who are invariably bound up with the legacy of the Institute for Social Research, or Frankfurt School. Founded in 1923, this bastion of Marxist investigation and political praxis was originally intended to explain why German Communists had failed to overthrow the state in 1918–19 and to account for the rise of National-Socialism during the 1920s and 1930s. This new book explores how the Frankfurt School not only set out to study the effects of totalitarianism, mass culture and capitalist consumerism through the lens of critical theory, but may be held directly accountable for the subversion of the traditional family, the encouragement of open borders, the spread of gender issues in education and a selective 'identity politics' that has transformed the face of Western civilisation. A full century after the Frankfurt School first appeared, this significant collection of essays will finally allow us to understand the theory and practice that has had such an enormous impact on our lives. Needless to say, it makes crucial reading. Chapters include: Cultural Marxism and the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory; Adorno as a Reactionary?; Wilhelm Reich: Life and Work of an Orgonic Heretic; Frankfurt School and Critical theory: History, Development, Significance; The Gravediggers of Western Civilisation; Frankfurt: Grand Hotel Abyss; Critical Illumination: The Frankfurt School's Contributions, Criticisms and Controversies; The Frankfurt School and 1968; Somewhere between Mysticism and Materialism: Notes on Walter Benjamin; A Few Thoughts on the Frankfurt School; Adorno and Jazz; The Frankfurt School: Between Power and Counter-power; and Critiquing the Critical: Impressions of the Frankfurt School. The contributors are Troy Southgate (Editor), Robert Steuckers, K.R. Bolton, Keith Preston, Werner Olles, Sean Jobst, Roberto Siconolfi, Joakim Andersen, Friedrich P. Ost, Robert Pecchioli and Lennart Berg,
