Housed in custom clamshell cases quarter navy morocco over blue marbled boards decorative gilt stamping to spines. The first British edition of Schopenhauer's magnum opus Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung which he first published in 1818 and spent a lifetime revising. Schopenhauer's depiction of life as eternal struggle met with a chilly reception from German idealists and the pessimist was not recognized as a major philosopher until 1851. It took another thirty years for Schopenhauer's most important work to be translated into English by R. B. Haldane and J. Kemp but many of his theories were widely accepted by the end of the 19th century. His faith in art as a means to perceive the underlying truth of all things "the Will" influenced the French Decadent movement and the works of Wagner Kafka and Borges. Thomas Mann championed Schopenhauer's clear-eyed rationalism as a necessary counter to the twentieth century's glorification of instinct including bad instincts: "We have seen instead of pessimistic conviction deliberate malice." His work is as relevant now as it was when these books were first printed. Truebner & Co unknown books
