Strasti molodogo Vertera chast' I-II Die Leiden des jungen Werthers parts 1 and 2 complete
St. Petersburg: Pri imperatorskoi Akademii Nauk Imperial Academy of Sciences 1794. Second edition "Vtorym tisneniem". Large 12mo 15.3 Ã 9.8 cm. Contemporary full calf spine tooled in black and with red title label; edges red; 1-124 and 125-249 pp. consecutive pagination. Professional restoration to edges of boards; small paper repairs to tips of upper corners; contemporary ink ownership annotation to front pastedown "Kapitan Aleksandr Ostaf'ev"; still about very good. Complete second printing published in two separate parts with continuous pagination of Goethe's epochal work and one of the first novels to earn cult status with a younger generation of readers. Although the translator is not credited the text is identical to the version by F. Galchenkov first published in 1781. Galchenkov was a translator at the Academy of Sciences whose translation although flawed remained the only published version until the appearance of a new translation by N. M. Rozhalin in 1829.<br/><br/>Goethe's work was widely read and influenced the works of many well-known contemporaries such as Lermontov. Coinciding with the peak of Russian Sentimentalism the novel also inspired several lesser-known Russian "Wertheriades" such as "The Russian Werther" by M. Sushkov 1775-1792 who actually committed suicide upon his novella's completion and a work by Nikolai Emin 1767-1814. See also: Eggeling and Schneider Der russische Werther: Analysen und Materialien zu einem Kapitel deutsch-russischer Literaturbeziehungen; as well as a dissertation on the topic by Dina V. Lobacheva.<br/><br/>Svodnyi katalog no. 1426. Not in Sopikov see 11575 for the 1781 edition.<br/><br/>Rare; we cannot trace any copies at auction in the Russian market or in Western auction records. As of October 2020 KVK and OCLC only show a microform at Harvard. A copy of the first edition is held by Yale. hardcover books

Faust. Der Tragödie erster Teil.
N.p.: Mimeograph typescript 1934. The successful German-Jewish banker Hans Arnold made his home in Berlin a salon for artists musicians and intellectuals the structure now houses the American Academy in Berlin. As a patron of the arts Arnhold merited this hand-made gift dedicated for Christmas 1934 of a Goethe's Faust one of an unspecified but certainly tiny number of mimeographed copies printed on Crown Van Gelder watermarked paper and accompanied by an original drawing by the notable illustrator Michel Fingesten. The gift dedication is signed by Grete Scholz d. 1937 wife of the painter Fritz-Karl Scholz-Wetterhof d. 1945. Fingesten's ex-libris for Grete Scholz is extant. Michel Fingesten 1884-1943 was a peripatetic artist known primarily for illustrated bookplates who produced a rich body of work in the course of his agitated life. An Italian Jew he was held in the concentration camp at Ferramonti for three years until its liberation in 1943. He died soon after a result of wounds sustained in a car accident. This volume is an artifact of the vibrant artistic and intellectual life that flourished in Germany and Mitteleurop at the cusp of Fascist domination in the 1930s. . 27 cm; 2 169 1 pages dedication leaf and original pencil and chalk title leaf with portrait of a grinning Mephistopheles by Michel Fingesten Michl Finkelstein signed in pencil protected by glassine leaf. Dedication "für HANS ARNOLD geschreiben Weihnachten 1934" signed in ink by Grete Scholz. Text mimeographed typescript on Crown Van Gelder. Bound in half vellum over buckram cloth-covered boards with buckram endleaves. Title stamped in gilt letters on vellum panel of top board. Upper board somewhat bowed but book is effectively pristine.

When this copy was auctioned in 1903 it was enclosed in a half morocco portfolio which was added to this copy it was not so issued. The portfolio is missing and the book has been through a fire or flood. The silk cord is missing the card covers are quite rubbed and tanned the last third of the text is spotted and stained and several mats are spotted. However there is no damage of any kind to any of the aquarelles which are brilliant and fine or the monochromes. Provenance: Library of Mr. David Levy of New York sold at auction Tuesday evening March 31st 1903 by John Anderson Jr. Seven copies of the Artist's-Proof Edition including this one have been sold at public auction six between 1897 and 1925 and one in 2006. No longer a great copy but the superb plates are worthy of preservation and display. #159337 John C. Yorston & Co. unknown books

Goethe Johann Wolfgang von; von Kaulbach Wilhelm illus.
Reineke Fuchs
Stuttgart: J.G. Cotta 1846. First Illustrated Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Full deep burgundy morcco gilt-stamped lettering illustration on front board lavishly stamped in gilt and blind on rear board and spine all edges gilt; folio 280 x 350 mm; with wonderful steel engravings throughout including frontispiece additional title-p. 35 plates and head- and tail-pieces. First illustrated edition first issue with the plate after p. 42 showing the fox diving under a monk's habit suggestive of something delightfully naughty which is perhaps why the plate was later suppressed. Rebacked with original spine laid down; some very light rubbing along edges of boards; scattered foxing throughout mostly marginal though sometimes infringing into the text or illustrations. Wilhelm von Kaulbach's fine engravings and remarkably detailed anthropomorphic animals enliven Goethe's version of the 13th-century allegory known in English literature as "Reynard the Fox." Spectacular. <br/><br/> J.G. Cotta hardcover books
