A founding document of performance and environmental art and the first by a major publisher Kaprow's ASSEMBLAGE ENVIRONMENTS & HAPPENINGS was originally planned as an official Fluxus publication see CODEX p. 288 but eventually evolved into this broader book.

Duplicated typescript printed rectos only. Prologue and 4 acts paginated individually. 6 20 17 9 12 pp. 1 vols. 4to. My station in life Is that of a clerk. But privately There are two things I love Surpassingly: Good wine And the women Of other men. Acting script of the Ethel van der Veer translation of a Chinese play Circle of Chalk which tells a tale of disputed inheritance discord and murder in the tenth century C.E. The play was first popularized in the west through a German translation by Klabund Alfred Henschke produced in Berlin in 1925 and also produced in London from a script by James Laver with Anna May Wong as the heroine. Independent of these productions Ethel van der Veer's translation was published in 1933. The Circle of Chalk must be counted as a key source for Bertholt Brecht's postwar drama Die Kaukasische Kreidekreis. The present text is uncredited but follows the van der Veer with the frequent addition of stage directions many of which now seem "Brechtian" in the way characters turn to face and often directly address the audience. unknown

Deckeltitel sowie Deckelrahmen in Goldpräg u. farb. Kopfschnitt; 25 illustr. Originalumschläge beiliegend. 3 Bde. m. Bibl.etik. am Rü. einige Bände mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren großteils jedoch unberührt. Bode Reclam S.146ff. - Vollständige Sammlung dieser umfassenden Textreihe die zunächst auf 250 dann auf 300 Bände angelegt war. Reclam übernahm die 1928 mit 2 Bänden begonnene Edition vom Österreichischen Bundesverlag. Die Sammlung blieb - äußerlich durch den zweiten Weltkrieg bedingt - ein Torso. Reihen mit bekannteren Texten wie 'Klassik' sind kaum begonnen worden andere Reihen wie 'Neue Mystik und Magie' wurden in Verlagsprospekten angekündigt sind aber nie erschienen. Die abgeschlossenen Reihen z.B. 'Aufklärung' und 'Romantik' gelten als wissenschaftlich verdienstvoll. Bei Reclam wurden 110 Bände ediert zuletzt 1950 noch Band 1 der Reihe 'Romantik'. Das Monumentalwerk sollte den ""Gesamtbesitz deutscher Dichtung"" überschaubar machen und wissenschaftsgeschichtlich die vom Positivismus des 19. Jahrhunderts geprägte Sammlung 'Kürschners Nationalliteratur' ablösen. Die Herausgabe wurde - auch von Nichtwissenschaftlern wie H. Hesse Thomas Mann und Karl Wolfskehl lebhaft begrüßt. Mit dem Aufkommen des Nationalsozialismus und der bekannten systemkonformen politischen Einstellung des Hauptherausgebers Kindermann bei gleichzeitigem Ausscheiden von Walther Brecht erlebte das Reihenwerk einige Planänderungen und Ergänzungen in denen sich die Wendung ins Volkhaft-Nationale spiegelt. - Die erschienenen Bände - wie vorliegend : Drama des Mittelalters 3 Bde. / Geistliche Dichtung des Mittelalters 2 Bde. / Höfische Dichtung 1 Bd. / Realistik des Spätmittelalters 4 Bde. / Humanismus und Renaissance 2 Bde. / Reformation 7 Bde. / Dt.

1933Best.-Nr. 138407Germany: Kinematrade 1933. Vintage US poster for the 1932 German communist propaganda film "Kuhle Wampe oder Wem gehort die Welt" The subtitle is seen here under the English translation "Whither Germany." Circa 1933 as identified by the name of the Philadelphia theatre on the poster. The last and arguably most important communist film of the Weimar era "Kuhle Wampe oder" is according to screenwriter Brecht a "Collective Presentation" that tells the tale of a family in early 1930s Berlin. After the son is prolongedly unemployed he commits suicide and the family is forced to relocate to a shantytown known as "Kuhle Wampe" or "Empty Stomach." Created under severely limited material conditions with filming constantly being broken up by the Weimar government's paramilitary SA agency the film attempts to depict archetypes of the times including an intellectual clash on a subway between members of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Banned first by the failing Weimar Republic and subsequently by the Nazi Reich the film was believed to have been lost until it reappeared over 20 years later in East Germany in 1958. This poster likely originates from screenings held in November 1933 by an unknown pro-communist organization in Philadelphia at the short-lived left-leaning Philkino theater. A US screening of this film dating before the film's disappearance and only just after the very beginnings of Hitler's rise to power makes this poster not only very scarce but one of significant historical value. The poster touting "Kuhle Wampe" as "The Film Hitler Burned" features an image of a man with a hammer and sickle attacking two snakes that form the Nazi swastika and touts the involvement of members of the "Labor Sports Union" in the film. 9.5 x 13 inches letterpress on pale faded pink stock. Very Good with expected moderate wear. Kinematrade unknown

Banned first by the failing Weimar Republic and subsequently by the Nazi Reich the film was believed to have been lost until it reappeared over 20 years later in East Germany in 1958. This poster likely originates from screenings held in November 1933 by an unknown pro-communist organization in Philadelphia at the short-lived left-leaning Philkino theater. A US screening of this film dating before the film's disappearance and only just after the very beginnings of Hitler's rise to power makes this poster not only very scarce but one of significant historical value. The poster touting "Kuhle Wampe" as "The Film Hitler Burned" features an image of a man with a hammer and sickle attacking two snakes that form the Nazi swastika and touts the involvement of members of the "Labor Sports Union" in the film. 9.5 x 13 inches letterpress on pale faded pink stock. Very Good with expected moderate wear. Kinematrade unknown books

A novel based on the author's famous 1928 musical play 'A Threepenny Opera' later re-issued as 'Threepenny Novel' which he co-wrote with Kurt Weill itself loosely based on John Gay's 'The Beggar's Opera'. The play was filtered through Brecht's experiences among the criminal fringe elements of the Weimar Republic. It was the first of Brecht's plays to appear in English. Bertolt Brecht was born in 1898 in Augsburg Germany and was 16 when the First World War broke out. Exploiting a loophole which allowed medical students to be deferred from the army he enrolled at Munich University and began to study theatre under the guidance of Arthur Kutscher. His first works of theatre criticism began to appear as early as 1919 and over the following few years he took part in a political cabaret of the Munich comedian Karl Valentin. Valentin became a huge influence for the young writer and he wrote his first full-length play Baal in response to an argument he had with Kutscher during one of his drama seminars. This re-writing of other's work - as well as his own - would become a key theme in his writings. As he claimed "Anyone can be creative.it's rewriting other people that's a challenge." Over the following years of the 1920s Brecht began studying Marxism and Socialism in earnest. By the 1930s he had formed a writing collective which was composed of such names as Elisabeth Hauptmann Margarete Steffin and Ruth Berlau. Together they adapted John Gay's 'The Beggar's Opera' into 'The Threepenny Opera' with Brecht's lyrics set to music by Kurt Weill. The resulting opera was a huge hit in Berlin and helped to renew public interest in the musical genre worldwide. Set in Victorian London the plot follows Macheath the leader of a criminal gang who marries Polly Peachum at the displeasure of her father. In revenge he seeks out Macheath's death - but is hindered by the chief of police Tiger Brown. ""You are about to hear an opera for beggars" Brecht famously narrates ahead of the performance "Since this opera was intended to be as splendid as only beggars can imagine and yet cheap enough for beggars to be able to watch it is called the Threepenny Opera." Fearing persecution Brecht fled Nazi Germany in February 1933 and after stints in Denmark and Finland he settled in California to continue his career as a screenwriter. Very scarce with the wrapper.
