Life and works
Heimo Schwilk was born in Stuttgart on 23 October 1952. He is a journalist and writer, active as a senior reporter for Welt am Sonntag.[1]
With Ulrich Schacht , Schwilk co-edited the anthology Die selbstbewusste Nation (1994), which was received as something of a manifesto from the Neue Rechte, of which Schwilk can be regarded as one of the more mainstream-integrated members. Roger Woods writes that Schwilk's political views are visible in his journalism, where he "writes about the decline of bourgeois society into selfishness and chaos, and the possible renaissance of a society based on notions of honour, duty and sacrifice".[1]
Schwilk published a biography on Ernst Jünger in 2007, Ernst Jünger. Ein Jahrhundertleben. Die Biografie.[2] In 2012 he published a book on Hermann Hesse, Hermann Hesse. Das Leben des Glasperlenspielers.[3]
