[Charles Agvent]

HESSE, Herman. KLEINE BETRACHTUNGEN. SECHS AUFSÄTZE. [Bern]: [Stämpfli & 
Cie.], [1941]. First Edition. Plain gray wraps with a printed paper 
label on the front cover; 37, [2] pages. A later edition included 
illustrations. SIGNED in ink by the Nobel Prize winner as "H. Hesse" 
with a two-word inscription on the title page. Owner name of George 
Goetz dated 1939 on the front endpaper well above Hesse's inscription 
with a small stain at the bottom corner well below Hesse's inscription. 
A few marginal pencil notations, likely by Goetz. Some aging to the 
paper but at least Very Good and very scarce when signed.

 From the estate of George Goetz, a Danish Jew living in Sweden because 
of persecution. He maintained a correspondence with Hesse, only recently 
discovered, from 1939 to 1951. Their letters discussed everything from 
the trivial to Hesse's work and its place in Nazi Germany. One common 
point of interest was the German-Jewish philosopher Constantin Brunner 
(Goetz would later become President of International Constantin Brunner 
Institute.). This book as well as several other titles inscribed to 
Goetz were discovered with the letters and is now being offered for 
public sale for the first time. (#019001)        $250.00
