He also coedited, with James Ladun, After Ovid. His own books include Corona, Corona and Behind the Lines. Michael Hofmann has translated Joseph Roth, Herta Muller, Zoe Jenny, Wim Wenders, Wolfgang Koeppen, and Franz Kafka. His most famous later books include Heliopolis (1949), The Glass Bees (1957), Eumeswil (1977), Aladdin's Problem (1983), and A Dangerous Encounter (1985). Throughout the Nazi period he was a controversial “inner emigrant,” distanced from the regime yet only obliquely in opposition. While admired by the Nazis, he remained critical of them and through novels such as On the Marble Cliffs (1939) sought to understand the impasse into which Germany was heading. He fought throughout the war and recorded his experiences in several books, most famously in In Stahlgewittern (Storm of Steel).
He ran away from school to enlist in the Foreign Legion and in 1914 volunteered to join the German army. PENGUIN CLASSICS STORM OF STEEL Ernst Junger was born in Heidelberg in 1895.
