1942réf. 15626Los Angeles: Plantin Press 1942. Original edition of the first book published by the Pazifische Presse. The Pazifische Presse was the sole representative on the west coast of the United States of those publishers who left Germany and Austria following the rise to power of National Socialists in 1933. Many European refugees came to America and though most settled in New York a large number did go to Los Angeles which became an important center of German-speaking immigration. Artists authors and intellectuals such as Thomas Mann Theodore W. Adorno Bertolt Brecht Fritz Lang and Arnold Schoenberg were but a few who represented the community of Germans exiled from their native land and who produced major works to address the world crisis. The Pazifische Presse was founded by Ernst Gottlieb and Felix Guggenheim both of whom had emigrated to the west coast in around 1939. The publisher “afforded its participants an arena for presenting the best of Weimar culture not only for the emigree community but for their American friends and colleagues” Jaeger p. 9. They announced the initial publication of seven volumes by distinguished authors who themselves had immigrated to the United States. These included Thomas Mann the Nobel Laureate for literature in 1929 Franz Werfel Bruno Frank Leonhard Frank Alfred Neumann Fredrich Toberg Alfred Döblin and Lion Feuchtwanger. Many of these renowned writers continued to publish during their exile; some even went on to screen writing positions in Hollywood. Most of the authors were selected based upon a personal relationship between them and the publishers. Gottlieb and Guggenheim worked with Saul and Lillian Marks of the renowned Plantin Press of Los Angeles to print their material. Founded in 1931 and named after Christopher Plantin the famous sixteenth century printer from Antwerps the Marks built a strong reputation as printers of artistic and beautiful works. Each of the first seven volumes of a total of eleven books ultimately released were printed at the Plantin Press in a run of 250 copies; the first 150 copies were the “Subscriber editions” signed by the author and bound in half-leather. The remaining 100 copies were a more simply bound unsigned trade edition. “The novella Thamar is a partial pre-printing of the fifth section of Joseph der Ernährer Joseph the Provider; consequently the volume is the German first printing of this part of the text. The first edition of the complete text of Joseph der Ernährer Joseph und seine Brüder. Der vierte Roman was later published in December 1943 at the Bermann-Fischer Verlag Stockholm Potempa D8.1 . . . As part of Joseph’s legend this excerpt depicts the story of the young woman Thamar and her education by Jacob” Jaeger p. 25. Thomas Mann 1875-1955 was probably Germany’s most influential author of the twentieth century receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. He lived in Munich where he wrote some of his most successful novels like Buddenbrooks 1901 Death in Venice 1912 and The Magic Mountain 1924. After the Nazi takeover his family emigrated to Switzerland then to Princeton before settling in Southern California where he finished his great tetralogy Joseph and His Brothers in 1942. Thomas Thedoe Heine 1867-1948 was recognized as one of Germany’s most talented illustrators. Plantin Press unknown
