HESSE, Herman. EINE BIBLIOTHEK DER WELTLITERATUR. Zurich: Werner
Classen, (1946). First Edition Thus. Number 15 in the series. SIGNED in
ink by the Nobel Prize winner on the front endpaper as "H. Hesse" with a
brief inscription dated "XI - 45." Slight browning to text. Near Fine in
a Very Good dustwrapper, a bit faded with a small chip and tear at the
top front near the spine.
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 the 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. (#019675) $250.00
