| 4. | Mann, Thomas Königliche Hoheit - Roman
Berlin Deutsche Buch-Gemeinschaft Hardcover Very Good+
; 8vo; 468 & [4] pages; Mit einer Vorrede von Hanns Martin Elster. Publisher's yellow pattern-printed boards backed with tan leather, red label, gilt decorative stamping. Top edges stained red. Minor rubbing at the spine ends, but still clean, sound and attractive. Thomas Mann's second novel, Königliche Hoheit, was first published in 1909 [Berlin: S. Fischer]. This edition in half leather was published by the Deutsche Buch-Gemeinschaft without a date, but from internal evidence, 1928 seems most likely. [On a list at the rear of this volume of Mann's books published by Fischer-Verlag, the 3-volume collected tales published during 1928 does not yet appear]. Modern critics have associated the theme of Königliche Hoheit with Mann's own marriage to Katia and the cessation of his early homosexuality. A scarce and agreeable edition from the days of the Weimar Republic -- see OCLC: 36823672. Bürgin no. 7a. KEYWORDS German literature Homosexuality Leatherbound

| 7. | Mann, Thomas ; 1875-1955 REDE UND ANTWORT Gesammelte Abhandlungen Und Kleine Aufsätze
Berlin S. Fischer Verlag 1922 First Edition Hardcover Very Good
; 8vo; xii, 402, colophon pages; 1922 hardcover First Edition (Berlin, Fischer Verlag). Publisher's pale green decorated boards, backed with decoratively-printed rough linen spine. An excellent copy -- the fragile original binding is unworn, the boards show just a bit of light toning at the edges. The spine is clean and fresh, but there is a slight bump to the foot of the spine, which continues to to the gutter of the front board. Laid in is Fischer-Verlag's tri-fold printed prospectus for this publication: "Das neue Werk von Thomas Mann..." This copy is an example of Fischer's "halbleinen" binding -- (originally 44 Mark) ; this title was also available unbound (32 Mark) , in ganzleinen (for an extra 6 Mark) and halbleder (70 Mark) . First edition of Thomas Mann's first book of essays. See Bürgin I, 20.
