Description
On the Marble Cliffs
A darkly radiant fable about two brothers, formerly warriors, whose idyll is shattered by an encroaching fascistic force. Set in a world of its own, Ernst Jünger's On the Marble Cliffs is both a mesmerizing work of fantasy and an allegory of the advent of fascism.
The narrator and his brother live in an ancient house carved out of the great marble cliffs overlooking a beautiful lake, surrounded by a peaceful land of ancient cities and flourishing vineyards. However, rumors of dark deeds begin to reach them, as agents of a ruthless leader infiltrate their sanctuary, threatening the very fabric of peace.
