About This Item
New York: Boni and Liveright, No Date Listed. Modern Library First Edition. Softcover. Very Good. 6.5" x 4.25" x 0.75. THE MODERN LIBRARY FIRST EDITION. Softcover. Bound in a textured dark navy blue leatherette with gilt Modern Library embellishment and gilt lettering on the spine. 416 pp. Illustrated endpapers in a light olive green on a tan background. Toledano 2 spine. Toledano 1 end sheets. "Gustav Frenssen (1863-1945) was a German novelist. He wrote patriotically about his native country and promoted Heimatkunst (regionalism) in literature. Once a pastor, he abandoned Christianity in his later years because Christian morals were in conflict with his racialism. He turned to a form of Germanic Neopaganism which also suited his liberal views on sexuality." (Wikipedia). Moderate wear on the cover, particularly along the edges and the edges of the spine. Front end paper edge is chipped and bears a half inch open tear. Unmarked except for a previous owner's signature on the front endpaper and the number "318", and a mark in the margin on page 333. Binding is sound. A nice copy. Full refund if not satisfied.
