Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 365 pages (as found). Seventeen copper plate illustrations (Table 12 missing) plus frontis illustration. Two of these are folded - they are in tight, snug condition. At some stage rebound in board with leather spine and facings. The spine edges have wear but the binding is strong… and very stable. The faces have wear and scuffing. They are strong and dignified. The front and end pages are spotted by foxing. The papertrims are bound. The contents are very firm to the binding. They are, considering their age, lively and engaging. They are as informative and welcoming as at publication. One of the folded plant illustration tables contentedly shows a Hottentot mother puffing serenely and happily at a marijuana pipe! There is wear and marking and staining throughout. However, the bodies of the pages are clear and bold and certain despite character-instilling tanning. A useful, gratifying, enchanting book that rests comfortably in the hand and on the shelf. fk.

sonst. Bücher. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hans Werner Kolben, geboren 1922 in Aussig, stammte aus einer berühmten böhmischen Industriellenfamilie. Er wurde aufgrund einer Denunziation durch einen früheren Mitschüler wegen des Nicht-Tragens des gelben 'Judensterns' verhaftet und am 10. August 1942 nach Theresienstadt, am 28. Septemb…er 1944 nach Auschwitz deportiert. Im Februar 1945 starb er im KZ Kaufering, unweit Landsberg/Lech, an Flecktyphus. 1943/44 schrieb Hans Werner Kolben im KZ Theresienstadt ungefähr 20 Gedichte, die von seiner Mutter gerettet wurden. Sie selbst überlebte nur deshalb, weil sie als Bakteriologin im KZ gebraucht wurde. Das Manuskript einer geretteten Erzählung von 1944 Der Nordpolfahrer, 'in der ein Mord aus Hunger geschildert wird' (so H. G. Adler), ging nach dem Krieg in der Post verloren. Dagegen legen wir Hans Werner Kolbens Gedichte in dieser Ausgabe erstmals vollständig vor. Hans Werner Kolbens Bruder Heinz steuert seine Erinnerungen an die gemeinsam verbrachten Jahre bei. Selbst in einem Nebenlager von Auschwitz, überlebte Heinz Kolben nur, weil er sich vor der Auflösung des KZ Blechhammer/Oberschlesien vor der SS verstecken konnte und so dem Todesmarsch der Lagerinsassen entging. Peter Demetz, dessen Essay zu Hans Werner Kolben mitaufgenommen ist, wurde 1922 in Prag geboren. Seine jüdische Mutter wurde im KZ umgebracht; er selbst wurde im Herbst 1944 zusammen mit anderen 'Hlabjuden' aus Prag zu einem Arbeitseinsatz mit ungewissem Ausgang verschickt, den er glücklich überstand. 1948 floh er nach dem kommunistischen Putsch aus seiner Heimat und wurde in den USA zu einem namhaften Germanisten. Hans Werner Kolben gehörte zu seinen Prager Jugendfreunden; miteinander tauschten sie sich über ihre ersten Gedichte aus.
