The story takes place in an imagined future, the year 1984 when much of the world has fallen victim to perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and propaganda.

So umstritten Ernst Jünger zeitlebens war, so wechselhaft verlief auch die Rezeption seines Romans "Auf den Marmorklippen". Zu Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs erschienen, wurde er als Parabel auf den Nationalsozialismus gelesen: In einem fiktiven Land waltet ein brutales Regime, das Kultur und Menschen vernichtet. Joseph Goebbels soll nach der Lektüre getobt haben. Später wurde der Roman vor allem wegen seiner reinen Ästhetik, die zu wenig moralische Position beziehe, kritisiert. Rudolf Jürgen Bartsch, der selbst den Zweiten Weltkrieg miterlebte, gibt diesem Roman seine Stimme.
