Description:
New York: Alfred Knopf, 1927. First Edition. Hardcover. Contents clean and fresh; covers bright with sunning to the spine and darkening of the spine label. Very Good or better, lacking the scarce dustwrapper. Original green cloth with the first printing error on page 20. SIGNED by the author on the front free endpaper and quite scarce as such. There was a Limited Edition of 175 numbered and signed copies, but one rarely comes across a signed trade edition of this classic of American Literature. We found only two copies appearing at auction in the last 35 years, the Pforzheimer copy in 1987, inscribed to Carl Pforzheimer, and another inscribed copy in 2006. The present copy is signed only and on an integral sheet of the book, not on a piece of paper added later.

Bound in modern full blue morocco, not retaining the original wraps (6" x 8-1/2"); [iv], 371, [5] pages including table of contents and bibliography. With the motto after Virgil on the title page: “Flectere si nequeo superos, acheronta movebo” (“If heaven does not hear me, then I call hell to help”). The true first edition of THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS in the original German, considered the foundational work of psychoanalysis and containing the central theses and themes of Freudian theory, including the unconscious (introduced here), repression, the Oedipus complex, the libido, early childhood sexuality, etc. Appearing in an edition of only 600 copies and published on 4 November 1899 (the publisher deliberately dated the title page to the 20th century), the book sold so slowly that a second edition was not needed until 1909.…

Description:
Berlin: S. Fischer, 1922. First Edition. Wraps. A Fine, bright copy beautifully bound. Thin octavo (5-3/4" x 8-3/4") bound in recent full rust morocco with gilt lettering on the front cover and on the spine label, retaining the publisher's heavy tan wraps with brown lettering on the front cover and blank on the rear; [1-8], 9-146, [-147], [1, blank], [2, publisher's ads]. The true First Edition with the text in German of one of this Nobel Prize winner's two famous and important novels, the other being of course STEPPENWOLF. Hesse based this book on the early life of Gautama Buddha. The story of a son rebelling against his father's teaching and traditions and eventually finding true enlightenment resonated with those maturing in the 1960s and 1970s making this title something of a cult classic. It was made into a beautiful film in 1972 by Conrad Rooks.
