Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Bernard Grasset], The first French edition of an exceedingly scarce work, published by Bernard Grasset of Paris in 1925. This novel was first published three years earlier in Germany ( 1922 ) Text in French. The limitation colophon declares ( partially to my mystification as well as that of Google translate ) ; ' il a et tire de cet ouvrage sept exemplaires sur papier madagascar lafuma, dont cinq exemplaires numerotes madagascar 1 a 5 et deux exemplaires numerotes madagascar H . C. I et H. C. II ; et trente exemplaires sur velin pur fil lafuma dont vingt - cinq exemplaires numerotes velin pur fil 1 a 25 et cinq ememplaires numerotes velin pur fil H. C. I a H. C. V. This copy is unnumbered. It was, perhaps, Siddhartha - with its quest for enlightenment theme - that made Hesse so appealing to an American readership resulting in his rediscovery in the nineteen sixties. A very good copy, contemporaneously bound in light green leather. Although both front and rear boards are separated at the gutters, the book remains tightly bound by its binding ties. There is a raisin sized abrasion to the leather at the top of the front board, and a faint circular ring to the front board. Four raised bands to the spine, spine lettered in gold. Paper somewhat toned. Unusual felt-like endpapers, bookmarker bound in., Books<
