Die Buecher der Namenlosen Liebe. Mit einer Einleitung: Die Geschichte eines Kampfes um die namenlose Liebe.
Paris (1913). 269pp. 4to.
Item #9210
The first complete edition of the author's six Books of the Nameless Love. The first three works were published several years earlier in Berlin, but were confiscated by the police and judged obscene and ordered to be destroyed. Consequently, this is the first appearance of three of these works, all dealing with homosexual love. The author was at the forefront of the gay emacipation movement in Germany for much of the early part of the twentieth century, but paid a heavy price, both in his personal freedom and financially. Very good in marbled boards, front and rear wrappers not present.
Price: $400.00
