The peaceful and traditional people, located on the shores of a large bay, are surrounded by the rough pastoral folk in the surrounding hills, who feel increasing pressure from the unscupulous and lowly followers of the dreaded head forester. The narrator and protagonist lives on the marble cliffs as a botanist with his brother Otho, his son Erio from a past relationship and Erio s grandmother Lampusa. The idyllic life is threatened by the erosion of values and traditions, losing its inner power. The head forester uses this opportunity to establish a new order based on dictatorial rule, large numbers of mindless followers and the use of violence, torture and murder. The tale may readily be understood as a parable on national socialism but remarkably was not censored in Nazi Germany , perhaps due to J nger s significant repute in right wing circles. Its sharp disapproval of violent masses, as well as its prediction of death camp s, was noted and helped J nger s rehabilitation after the Second World War although he had not gone into exile like most anti Nazi authors. J nger himself, however, refused the notion that the book was a statement of resistance, describing it rather as a shoe that fits various feet .
