[Montagnola]: Privatdruck, 1948. First Edition. Wraps. Fine. String-tied printed wraps (4-1/2" x 6-1/4"); 13 pages plus covers. INSCRIBED in German and SIGNED with his initials in ink by the Nobel Prize winner on the colophon page. From the estate of George Goetz, a Danish Jew living in Sweden because of persecution. He maintained a correspondence with Hesse, only recently discovered, from 1939 to 1951. Their letters discussed everything from the trivial to Hesse's work and its place in Nazi Germany. One common point of interest was the German-Jewish philosopher Constantin Brunner (Goetz would later become President of the International Constantin Brunner Institute.). This book, as well as several other titles inscribed to Goetz, were discovered with the letters and is now being offered for public sale for the first time.
