Reference? #2[edit]

I took up the reference to Evola: simply, who cares? Otherwise, the article should need all Benn's positive reviews on every author He had read, and that would be stupid.

Reference?[edit]

The article states: "Benn favorably reviewed Julius Evola's Revolt Against the Modern World." This needs a reference. I would be personally interested in knowing where this initially appeared and whether there are English translations or descriptions of the review's content.

Special question: I have never heard of a Benn novel under the title The Trainee Man (1936). I delete the passage, till someone can give me the German title.

I just realised there is more of that in the article: a German titel Der Kursteilnehmermann and a misleading ISBS: 4512738960 - a hoax. Benn actually wrote a novel Roman des Phänotyp (begun in 1943, first published in 1949), and this is not mentioned. The rest is a hoax. The article should be under observation. --Olaf Simons 14:09, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
