Summary/Abstract: A prominent figure of the twentieth century, Ernst Jünger deserves to be brought back to attention in teaching (in our case, specialized English) due to the learned, scholarly way of managing extreme, catastrophic war situations, work and writing therapy, speaking in terms of consumer society. The perspective on vaccination, which remained as controversial today in the age of fake news, should also be considered. We extract the material from the work Pagini din Kirchhorst. Coliba din vie: Ani de ocupaţie (Polirom, 2004) and the English version, A German Officer in Occupied Paris, The War Journals, 1941–1945 (2019); the method is the communicative one (CLT) as we aim to bring an (inter)cultural note to the interactive language seminar.
