“On the Marble Cliffs is an allegorical tale, written in a frozen, humorless, yet brilliantly colored style that owes something to the nineteenth-century Decadents and something to the Scandinavian sagas. The result is a prose equivalent of an Art Nouveau object in glass.” —Bruce Chatwin, The New York Review of Books
“On the Marble Cliffs, published shortly after the outbreak of World War II, shows that Junger had broken with his militarist and anti-humanist tradition without having become a stanch champion of democracy. Junger's prose, full of chthonic symbols and allegoric allusions, is flexible and rich.” —Alfred Werner, The New York Times
