Synopsis "Heliópolis (in Spanish)"

Publicada originalmente en 1949, Heliópolis es la primera gran novela escrita por Jünger tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Se trata de una distopía que, a la luz de los últimos avances tecnológicos y del retorno del populismo y la xenofobia, resulta extraordinariamente visionaria. La obra desarrolla el conflicto institucional entre el poder popular de la Oficina Central, que representa una forma de vida totalmente regida por la técnica, y el Palacio, que simboliza la tradición, el perfeccionamiento del ser a través de la disciplina y la cultura. Incapaz de adherirse a ninguno de los dos bandos, el personaje principal se rebela ante el automatismo y busca en lo atemporal el último baluarte de resistencia.

(Heidelberg, Germany 1895 - Riedlingen, Germany, 1998) Writer, philosopher, soldier, and German historian. Volunteered in World War I, was wounded several times and decorated. In 1923, he began studies in zoology and philosophy at the University of Leipzig and later moved to Berlin, where he began to establish his career as a writer. In 1941, he joined the German high command in Paris, although a year later the Nazi regime banned the publication of his works. The diaries contained in Radiations I and II masterfully reflect the experience of those difficult years. After the war, Jünger combined stays in the small Swabian town of Wilflingen with travels around the world and the writing of a set of novels, essays, and diaries that have made him one of the most lucid, exciting, and controversial witnesses of our time.
