Publisher's Synopsis

Visit to Godenholm (German: Besuch auf Godenholm) is a 1952 novella by the German writer Ernst Jünger. It tells the story of a group of people who are invited to the island Godenholm in Scandinavia, where they take part in a mind-altering séance with strong surreal imagery. "The light began to crackle, a blue thread rose from the edge of the candelabra. Moltner looked at it first with amazement, then with delight, as if his eyes had gained a new power. Honey-scented smoke rose from thin wicks and then branched out into delicate wreaths. It was as if his imagination had created it - a tapestry of pale sea lilies in a depth that barely rippled with the surge of the waves. Time activated in the structure - encircled it, twisted and curved it, as if imaginary coins were being quickly stacked on top of one another. The multiplicity of space was revealed in the fibrous net, in the nerves stretching the thread in infinite numbers and unfurling vertically."
