"In Approaches, Ernst Jünger-decorated German officer of the two world wars, "conservative revolutionary," Hitler critic, and a prolific novelist-describes his experiences with drugs, ranging from youthful drinking bouts, through experiments with hashish and morphine, to mescaline, peyote and LSD. Taking his readers on a remarkable journey from beer to hallucinogen, he provides fascinating vignettes from key moments in Germany's troubled twentieth century. Approaches is also a fundamentally philosophical, even spiritual journey toward hidden dimensions of existence which, in Jünger's view, have been eclipsed by the ambient noise of modern life. The ecstatic altered states provided by drug use, he claims, can help us approach them and find a deeper truth"-- Provided by publisher
