About This Item
Leipzig: F. V. Brodhaus, 1873. First Edition. Leather Bound. Good. 0x0x0. Good condition. Scarce German 1st editions (1873-1874) of all 6 volumes of Schopenhauer's complete works, edited by Schopenhauer's executor Julius Frauenstadt. Hinge is rubbed on Volume One. Volumes Two and Three are lightly rubbed, Volume Four has 3/4 inch chip and hinge is worn but sound, Volume Five outer hinge is starting, Volume Six has some apparent successful repair and chipping at head and hinge. Bookseller/binder's mark at top corner, inside board. Now in archival acrylic jackets. Provenance: this set was formerly owned by Elizabeth Von Arnim Schlagenthin anonymous author of the beloved turn of the century classic "Elizabeth and Her German Garden". Each volume of the Sammtliche Werke features her bookplate on the inside front board stating "This book belongs to Elizabeth, Chanterai Ma Chanson" with stamp of Von Arnim- Schlagenthin on the front free endpaper - likely from the large library at her estate Chalet Soleil, where she seduced the young man who came to catalog it. Literary associations? She was Katherine Mansfield's cousin. E. M. Forster and Hugh Walpole tutored her children. She had an affair with H. G. Wells. And then there is Schopenhauer. He influenced perhaps her notoriously mordant wit. The set is well read. Each volume is half leather. Ships from Dinkytown in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Due to the size/weight of this set extra charges to apply for international shipping.
