1927Very Good German Original wrappers. 12mo. (16 x 11 cm). In German. 71, [1] p., [12] unnumbered b/w plates. Very rare first edition (from first 1st-5th thousand impressions and both in scarce institutional holdings and market rarity) of this fourth book of "A thousand and one nights" series, titled 'The Caliph Harun Al-Rashid' with fine illustrations edited by Heinrich Wolgast, (1860-1920), a German educator and pedagogue. Close to social democratic ideology, Heinrich Wolgast became known as a literary pedagogue. He criticized a "specific" juvenile literature which, as trivial mass literature, only satisfies the need for entertainment, and called for an artistic education of the youth through aesthetically demanding literature. In 1888 Wolgast became a co-founder of the "Youth Writings Committee" of the "Association of Hamburg Elementary School Teachers". As a co-founder of the "United German Examination Committees for Youth Writings", he acted from 1896 to 1912 as the editor of the magazine "Jugendschriften-Warte". This small and very collectible book published by Otto Zimmermann reflects the pedagogical concerns rather than the true harsh, erotic, and imaginary atmosphere of the Arabian Nights. Only one printed copy in OCLC 76105214 (German National Library, Leipzig = Deutsche Nationalbibliothek, Leipzig).

Zargotina Kurdên Serhedê - Kilam û Destanên Epîk ên Dîrokî, Mêrxasî û Serhildanan" ku ji aliyê Mehmet Gültekin ve hatiye berhevkirin û amadekirin, di nav wesanên Avestayê de derket. Dema kurdek tenê li hember çiyayekî disekine, ew bi hevdû ra bi kurdî diaxivin û distirên. Rohat Alakom, di pêsgotina ku ji bo kitêbê nivîsandiye de wiha dibêje: "Zargotina Kurdên Serhedê ji sedî zêdetir stranên dîrokî ên mêrxasiyê, mêraniyê û cengewariyê pêskêsî xwendevanan dike. Piraniya wan cara yekem derbasî ser kaxiz dibin û tên wesandin. Her stranek li ser mijarekê ava bûye, sax vedaye û bûyerekê vedibêje, pêskês dike. Her yek ji wan xweyê dîrokekê ye yan jî dîrokekê, serpêhatiyekê raberî xwendevanan dike. Mehmet ji bo ku naveroka van berheman bas bê famkirin, destpêkeke dirêj jî wek lêkolîn amade kiriye û ligel van stranan wesandiye. Di vê besê de tistine gelek balkês li ser huner û dîroka dengbêjiya kurdî cîh girtine. Wî bi jêrenot û nivîsnasiyên xwe gelek mijarên nezelal ronî kiriye, alîkarî daye xwendevanan. Ev stran, ev berhemên ku di vê pirtûka delal de cîh girtine ji bo pêsketina ziman, edebiyat û herwisa ji bo dîroka kurdî wek çavkanî dikarin roleke gelek mezin bilîzin û hin pirsên çanda kurdî ronî bikin. Min bi xwe ev pirtûka nivîskar-lêkoler Mehmet Gultekîn bi dildarî û bi hewaseke mezin xwend. Gelek tistên nû ji naveroka vê pirtûka kêrdar fêr bûm. Hêvî dikim ku xwendevanên kurd, dildarên zargotina kurdî jî wê bi kêfxwesiyeke mezin vê pirtûka kurdî bixwînin, tam û lezetekê jê werbigrin."
