GOETHE JOHANN WOLFGANG von. PAVING THE WAY FOR FRENCH ROMANTICISM
Les souffrances du jeune Werther en deux parties. Traduit de l'original Allemand par B.S. d. S. Baron Siegmund de Seckendorf.
Erlangen Wolfgang Walther 1776. Bound in a nice cont. hcalf w. raised bands gilt ornamentations and gilt title-label to spine; gilding quite vague. Some wear to capitals and especially to corners where leather is worn off. Inner front hinge a bit weak. title-page loosening. Occasional brownspotting. Old owner's name to title-page. Woodcut vignettes. � The rare first edition of what is supposedly the first French translation of Goethe's monumental work "Die Leiden des jungen Werthers" one of the most influential and popular books of the 18th century. <br><br>The first edition in German appeared in 1774 and the work was so popular that new editions followed immediately after; already the following year the book was printed nine times and it was almost immediately translated into all European languages the French being one of the first together with a Dutch edition from the same year. The first English translation appeared in 1779 and after that translations into almost all other European languages followed. <br><br>The French translation of the work was of immense influence and after the first translation the present by Saeckendorf appeared in 1776 several other translations and numerous editions appeared immediately after bearing testimony to the status of the work as an absolute best-seller in France. In fact as much as 14 adaptions translations and re-issues of Werther in French appeared Between 1776 and 1779.<br><br>It has previously been assumed that a French translation was published in 1774 but this seems to be incorrect; the supposed French 1774 edition cannot be identified anywhere and the present translation by Seckendorf is now generally accepted as being the very first French translation here present in the first edition. In the same year a translation by Deyverddun appeared and in 1777 one by Aubry.<br><br>This Goethe's first novel is written in the form of letters and it caused him almost overnight fame. The style of writing has influenced an entire generation of writers. No other of Goethe's works has been so widely read by his contemporaries and no other work in general has been of as great importance to the Sturm und Drang-period; the work also caused the so-called "Lesesucht" the important and wide-ranging debate in late 18th century on misreading and on dangerous and harmful literature. The impact it had on not only literature but on almost all aspects of life at the time was immense and unheard of. Werther might well be the first cult-figure ever; -a true "Werther-Fieber" broke loose resulting in a distinct Werther-fashion yellow trousers yellow waist-coat blue coat high turned-down boots round felt hat and un-powdered hair as described by Goethe in the novel Werther-perfume Werther-cups etc. Numerous people susceptible to influence actually killed themselves in sympathy with the suffering Werther or overwhelmed by the gulf that separates the outer from the inner world suggested in the novel the first copycat-suicides of the world -many of the bodies were found with the book in their hands and the work incited the romantic urge for revolution; the work is also said to have been Napoleon's favourite novel which he carried with him at all times. It was the French edition of this monumental work that Napoleon carried with him to Egypt and after his own testimony read eight times during that period.<br><br>In fact the influence that this novel had on French culture and literature was of groundbreaking character. It was the first German best-seller in France and due to it an entire school in French literature of French Werther imitations and parodies emerged changing the course of French 18th century literature. It is also this novel and the rendering of it into French that paves the way for French Romaticism and it seminally influenced many of the most famous French writers of the Romantic era. <br>As Goethe put it in 1779 "Le francais sont sous le charme de Werther".<br><br>Goethe himself was very surprised by the impact of the work and said about it: "Die Wirkung dieses B�chleins war gro� ja ungeheuer und vorz�glich deshalb weil es genau in die rechte Zeit traf." Dichtung und Wahrheit. This literary masterpiece may be called the first German novel of world literary class and it not only seems like a modern work of fiction it is a work which has irreversibly shaped the feeling of life which is specific to modern man. <br><br>Baldensperger Bibliographie critique de Goethe en France 1907: p.5. hardcover

Faust. Tragoedie. I 2 Deele med Paralipomena. Paa Dansk af Chr. Bech. Faust. Tragedy. In 2 Parts with Paralipomena. Translated into Danish by Chr. F.W. Bech.
Kj�benhavn 1847. Bound in one cont. somewhat worn hcalf w. gilt back. Internally some brownspotting. Inserted on front free fly-leaf is an orig. 19th cent. photograph depicting a man and a woman probably Faust and Margareth against a set piece w. a poem in German in cont. hand underneath. � First edition of the first Danish translation of both parts of Goethe's Faust -one of the peaks of world literature the main work by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Few other writers have been as influential as Goethe and his works were an immense source of inspiration to everything from drama and music to science and philosophy. He is generally accepted as one of the most important thinkers within Western culture and his main work Faust is considered one of the most important and influential works of world literature. "If Goethe may justly be called the last representative of the renaissance ideal of the "oumo universale" his "Faust" embodies the sum total of his poetical growth." Printing and the Mind of Man: 298. <br>The first part of "Faust" was first printed as volume seven of Goethe's Schriften in eight volumes from 1787 - 1790 and was also published separately likewise under the title "Faust. Ein Fragment". The last part of Faust was printed in 1833.<br>"Faust" is probably the work for which Goethe is most famous and this is not without reason. The novel emphasizes the strength of the individual and the right to freely investigate aspects of human and divine character. The novel also fights for man's right to determine his own destiny and is thus considered the first great literary work in the spirit of modern individualism. The work is also considered highly relevant to science and scientific thought since Goethe here offers a holistic and non-analytic approach to these areas.<br>For the German first edition see PMM 298.

GOETHE JOHANN WOLFGANG von. FIRST FULL VERSION OF FAUST
Faust. Eine Trag�die.
T�bingen 1808. Small 8vo. Contemporary full black morocco with gilt spine. A bit of wear to extremities. A bit of brown spotting and remains of wax seal to back end-paper and verso of last tex-leaf. Old owner's name to front free end-paper. � The rare first edition of the first full version of Faust I in the even rarer separate printing i.e. not the one from the collected works of one of the peaks of world literature the main work by one of the greatest writers that ever lived. <br><br>The first part of Faust I to appear was that in volume 7 of collected works from 1790 in which the much shorter fragment of it entitled "Faust. Ein Fragment" appeared. In 1808 the full version of Faust I appeared for the very fist time in the collected works and separately as it is here. Faust II which is very rarely read and not usually included in what we mean by Goethe's Faust was written much later and only appeared after Goethe's death. <br><br>Few other writers have been as influential as Goethe and his works were an immense source of inspiration for everything from drama and music to science and philosophy. Goethe is generally accepted as one of the most important Western thinkers and his main work "Faust" arguably constitutes the most important and influential work of world literature. "If Goethe may justly be called the last representative of the renaissance ideal of the "oumo universale" his "Faust" embodies the sum total of his poetical growth." Printing and the Mind of Man: 298. <br><br>"Faust" is probably the work for which Goethe is most famous and this is not without reason. The novel emphasizes the strength of the individual and the right to freely investigate aspects of human and divine character. The novel also fights for man's right to determine his own destiny and it is thus considered the first great literary work in the spirit of modern individualism. The work is also considered highly relevant to science and scientific thought since Goethe here offers a holistic and non-analytic approach to these areas.<br><br>PMM 298 being the 1834 ed. not the real first; Hagen: 310 D1. unknown
