- Summary:
- It is hard to exaggerate the significance of Innerland, either for the author or his readers. The author's most seminal book, it absorbed his energies off and on for his entire adulthood -- from World War I, when he published the first chapter under the title War: A Call to Inwardness, to 1935, the last year of his life.
- Packed in metal boxes and buried at night for safekeeping from the Nazis, who raided the author's study a year before his death (and again a year after it), Innerland was not openly critical of Hitler's regime; nevertheless it attacked the spirits that animated German society: its murderous strains of racism and bigotry, its heady nationalistic fervor, its mindless mass hysteria and its vulgar materialism. In this sense Innerland stands as starkly opposed to the zeitgeist of our own day as to that of the author's.
