Approaches: Drugs and Ecstatic Intoxication – Ernst Jünger

More than just a book about drugs, Approaches is a memoir-notebook covering the years 1910-1970—whose author, Ernst Jünger (1895-1998), was at various times a war hero, a Nazi sympathizer who never joined the Party, a suspect in Stauffenberg’s plot to kill Hitler, and a major figure in 20th century German literature—of interest not only for its accounts of acid trips with Albert Hofmann, but for the author’s reflections on mythology, botany, entomology, literature, art, dreams, death, asceticism, etc., written during a period when Jünger was articulating his theory of the “anarch”, later depicted in more detail in his remarkable novel, Eumeswil (1977).
