First edition of Lessing's first collection of "Lustspiele" containing the first printing of "Minna von Barnhelm".Lessing 1729-1781 is the most important literary writer of the Age of German Enlightenment; with him this period is fulfilled as well as overcome."Minna von Barnhelm" is one of Lessing's most important and successfull works and is considered one of the absolute best of his plays. "Es war die erste deutsche Dramatische Dichtung welche nicht gemacht sondern erlebt war." Hettner Geschichte der deutschen Literatur im 18. Jahrh. II: 310. Lessing himself wrote in a letter that should "Minna of Barnhelm" not turn out to be the very best of his plays he would be very disappointed and never have anything to do with the theatre again. " "Minna von Barnhelm" ist unbedingt die vollendeste dichterische Leistung Lessings." Hettner II: 310. Goethe also considered this work a masterpiece; he found it the most sincere thing to have come out of the Seven Years War and a work of immense importance and impact.

Half sheep gilt spine ca. 1766 light rubbing and edgewear. Minor foxing and toning but very good. Former owners' signatures on front endpaper and title. First Edition. The German philosopher and critic Gotthold Lessing was one of the most outstanding representatives of the Enlightenment era; "it was he more than any other who laid the foundations of the intellectual primacy of German writers and thinkers in the nineteenth century" Printing and the Mind of Man 213. His Laokoon probably his best-known work had an enormous influence on the development of art and literary criticism: "Laokoon takes its name from the famous statue discovered at Rome in the sixteenth century. It analyzes the differences between the sculptor's treatment of Laocoon wrestling with the serpents and Virgil's treatment of the same theme and from there does on to discuss the limits and limitations of all the arts. It contains the first clear statement of the truth which is now considered axiomatic that every art is subject to limitations and can achieve greatness only by a clear understanding of a self-restriction to its proper function. The most telling passages and those which have borne most fruit are those on poetry . . . Lessing's exposition of the themes of Homer and Sophocles is especially effective and he opened up a new prospect in the appreciation of Greek literature" Printing and the Mind of Man. .

Born in 1923 in Vienna he became a photo-reporter for Associated Press in 1947 and in 1951 he became one of the earliest members of the legendary Magnum photo cooperative. His remarkable 1950s images documenting post-World War Europe and particularly his pictures of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution garnered worldwide admiration. Lessing's works always revolve around the human condition at the moment when power and powerlessness come face to face when the joy of living is suddnely overclouded with pain. His photographs seize the opportunity to recount an instant of history that will never be repeated. This monumental book is a tribute to Lessing's talent as a photojournalist and a visual record of a time of turmoil and great change. Lessing has received international honors including the American Art Directors' Award the Grand Austrian State Prize for Artistic Photography and many others. 400 duotone photographs. . 2004. 1593720203 .
