By Telos Press · Tuesday, March 1, 2016 From the Desk of Mary Piccone, Publisher
Dear Friends of Telos,
I am reaching out to you and asking for your help.
When you purchase a subscription to Telos, you make it possible for us to publish the kinds of writing that you want to read. As a small independent publisher, we rely on the support of our readers to continue producing new, challenging works in politics, philosophy, and critical theory.
If your library is not a current subscriber to Telos, you have the power to influence your library’s decision to subscribe. It’s your recommendation and your interest in Telos, rather than sales calls from publishers, that make a difference in library subscription decisions.
And when it comes to our books, it really helps support our mission when you order directly from our online store at telospress.com. Online shopping sites like Amazon require publishers to accept significant distribution costs to carry their books, and that is certainly challenging for small independent presses like ours. At our website, you can save 20% on the list price of all our books. Just enter the coupon code BOOKS20 during the checkout process, and the discount will be applied to your order.
My passion for continuing Telos is to keep Paul Piccone’s legacy alive and thriving. Telos is a unique forum that gives each of you a place to speak and be heard, and now more than ever such forums are essential. This May we are celebrating forty-eight years of publishing our journal. Let’s make it fifty, and then a hundred. Paul would be proud!
Warm wishes,
Mary Piccone
Publisher, Telos Press Publishing

 Sturm
by Ernst Jünger
Translated by Alexis P. Walker
With an Introduction by David Pan
Set in 1916 in the days before the Somme offensive, Ernst Jünger’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 Jünger’s early work, such as the nature of war, death, heroism, the phenomenon of Rausch, and mass society.
Originally published in installments in the Hannoverscher Kurier in 1923, Sturm fell into obscurity until 1960, when it was re-discovered and subsequently re-published by Hans Peter des Coudres, a scholar of Jünger’s work. This translation—the first to be published in English—brings to the English-speaking world a work of literature of interest not only to students of Jünger’s work and of World War I, but to any reader in search of a powerful story of war and its effects on the lives of the men who endure it.

Eumeswil
by Ernst Jünger
Translated by Joachim Neugroschel
Edited and with an Introduction by Russell A. Berman
 Eumeswil, ostensibly a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel, is effectively a comprehensive synthesis of Ernst Jünger’s mature thought, with a particular focus on new and achievable forms of individual freedom in a technologically monitored and managed postmodern world. Here Jünger first fully develops his figure of the anarch, the inwardly liberated and outwardly pragmatic individual, who lives peacefully in the heart of Leviathan and is yet able to preserve his individuality and freedom. Composed of a series of short passages and fragments, Eumeswil follows the reflections of Martin Venator, a historian living in a futuristic city-state ruled by a dictator known as the Condor. Through Venator, the prototypical anarch, Jünger offers a broad and uniquely insightful analysis of history from the post-historic perspective and, at the same time, presents a vision of future technological developments, including astonishingly prescient descriptions of today’s internet (the luminar), smartphone (the phonophore), and genetic engineering. At once a study of accommodation to tyranny and a libertarian vision of individual freedom, Eumeswil continues to speak to the contradictions and possibilities inherent in our twenty-first-century condition.
