Areco, Victor Das Liebesleben der Zigeuner
Leipzig Leipziger Verlag G.m.b.H. [1912] First Edition Hardcover Very Good- 8vo
xv, 367 pp. pages; Publisher's pattern printed paper-covered boards backed with brown cloth lettered in gilt. A sound copy internally, the spine is clean and presents a nice appearance on the shelf, but there is rubbing and wear to the edges of the boards. An interesting anthropological study of the gypsy, published as part of the series: "Das Liebesleben aller Zeiten und Voelker" (Band III). Published without a date specified in the years just before the first World War. [Booksellers who date this 1905 have merely pulled that date from the stern inscription which appears on the first leaf after the title page, from the Statistisches Landesbureau fuer Ungarn. Victor Areco claims in his preface that his study resulted from extensive fieldwork, vast personal experience and wide reading by the author in all the available gypsy literature. He writes of the sex lives, habits, practices and appearance of the Romani. Areco is almost rhapsodic in describing the magical allure of gypsy women (but he does state that there is a certain age at which these powers diminish starkly. A hint, passed along without comment on Areco's theory -- his tipping point in years equals the number of US dollars in our price). ; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a character lacking in ephemeral electronic renderings.
