Limited edition one of 176 copies of which just 150 are hand numbered and signed by the author. The publication is dedicated to children living with HIV/AIDS. Containing the full speech given by Lessing on her acceptance of the prize at the Swedish Academy in Stockholm on the 7th December 2007. On awarding the prize Professor Horace Engdahl permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy singled out The Golden Notebook as a pioneering work and described Lessing as that epicist of the female experience who with scepticism fire and visionary power has subjected civilisation to scrutiny . Lessing was reportedly out shopping when the award was announced and was typically irreverent in her response to the news. "I've won all the prizes in Europe every bloody one. I'm delighted to win them all the whole lot" she said to the reporters gathered outside her home in north London. "It's a royal flush." The Guardian. She was the oldest person ever to receive literature's most prestigious prize aged 87 and the 11th woman to win in its 106-year history. Her speech however ends on a more poignant note. It is that girl she writes and the women who were talking about books and an education when they had not eaten for three days that may yet define us . A fine copy. More images available on request.

réf. 2126432S.l.: s.n. May 1779. bound with:PFRANGER Johann Georg. Der Monch vom Libanon. Ein Nachtrag zu Nathan der Weise. Dessau: printed at the expense of the publisher Heinrich Heybruch for the Allgemeine Buchhandlung der Gelehrten. 1782. 8vo. Near-contemporary half sheep with pastepaper sides contrasting yellow and green morocco lettering-pieces to spine edges stained red marbled endpapers; Nathan der Weise: pp. 4 276; Der Monch: pp. 296; sporadic light spotting some dampstaining to a few pp. A8 and first few ff. of text subtly reinforced at inner margin; nonetheless very good; early ownership inscription 'Hartwig' to front free endpaper verso near-contemporary German purchase note to title of Nathan der Weise near-contemporary authorial attribution to title of Der Monch manuscript verse to front flyleaf see below nineteenth-century ink stamp 'M. Weller' to title and p. 7 of Nathan der Weise 1950s Slough 'Railways of the World' trading card loosely inserted.The true first edition printed in May 1779 for subscribers in the second state of Lessing's play Nathan der Weise Nathan the Wise promoting religious tolerance and friendship amongst Jews Christians and Muslims set in Jerusalem during the Third Crusade. This copy is bound with Pfranger's sequel printed in the hometown of Moses Mendelssohn Lessing's friend and the inspiration for the character of Nathan.In 1778 whilst working as head librarian in Wolfenbuttel Lessing was banned from publishing theological prose due to the intensity of his theological dispute with Johann Melchior Goeze chief pastor of Hamburg. He consequently decided to see if he could 'preach undisturbed' from his 'old pulpit the stage' as he wrote to his brother in August 1778 - having published no plays since Emilia Galotti in 1772 - in the hope of playing a 'vexatious prank on the theologians' with his masterful Enlightenment treatment of religious tolerance. The first edition was printed anonymously for some 1200 subscribers followed by a trade edition printed in the same year by Christian Friedrich Voss in Berlin.The present edition features several distinguishing features: the quote from Gellius on the title opens 'Jntroite' rather than 'Introite' there is no full stop after 'wiederkommt' on p. 1 p. 123 is mispaginated 233 and p. 95 bears the line 'reichre Mann' instead of 'reicher Mann' corrected in later editions. 'There are copies of this edition that show various corrections even though they were pulled from the same setting of type' Muncker trans. This is Muncker's variant B in which the line 'Der reicher Jude' appears instead of 'Der reichre Jude'.This copy has been bound with the first edition of Der Monch vom Libanon a sequel conceived by the clergyman and friend of Schiller Johann Georg Pfranger 1745-1790 who felt that Lessing had 'undermined the honour of the Christian religion' Deutsche Biographie trans. Heinrich Heybruch printed this edition at Dessau - hometown of prominent Jewish Haskalah philosopher Moses Mendelssohn close friend of Lessing and the model for the sage Jewish protagonist of Nathan der Weise - on behalf of the Allgemeine Buchhandlung der Gelehrten General Bookshop for Scholars established in Dessau during the Enlightenment to promote self-published works. In 1805 Heybruch published a heavily revised edition of Mendelssohn's Be'ur the first Jewish translation of the Torah into German rendered in Hebrew letters. Provenance: Inscribed to the front flyleaf and signed 'Gleim' is the manuscript poem 'An unsere grossen Kunstler' in praise of Lessing and of Nathan der Weise: Grabt ihn in Kupfer schneidet ihn in SteinGiesst ihn in Erz! Er soll Exempel seynDen Weisesten die seine Werke lesen;Der Nathan den er malt der ist er selbst gewesen. Lessing sent fifteen copies of the subscribers' edition to his friend the poet Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim 1719-1803 as well as a specially bound author's copy. For three weeks Gleim wrote to Lessing in July 1779 'Nathan der Weise was my only companion. I have studied it; I have read it aloud. Oh how I would love to prove that you could not have created anything better in a book of twenty-four sheets. Everything is excellent: plot verse expression' trans.Gleim's poem would seemingly not be published until 1783 where it appeared in Issue 112 of the Berliner Zeitung and was reproduced in Winkopp's Bibliothek fur Denker und Manner von Geschmak in the same year. The Frankfurt antiquarian bookselling firm Joseph Baer & Co. recorded a copy of the second edition featuring the same poem in Gleim's hand to the front flyleaf cat. 517 c. 1905 no. 3338.
