Illustrated with an original etching by Joseph Goldyne. 8vo, 230 x 140 mm., bound in original black morocco-backed sepia-coloured paper over boards. New York: Ursus Books, 2007. A handsome new edition of this classic fable about collecting. Zweig's story, set in Germany in the aftermath of the First World War, is timeless. It eloquently evokes the magic of collecting, the excitement of dealing and the pleasures and complexities of ownership. Joseph Goldyne, the distinguished California artist who is himself a renowned collector, has thoughtfully produced an illustration which successfully solves the problem of how to illustrate a book, which on first reading would seem to defy the concept of illustration. Peter Koch has designed and printed as elegant a version of Zweig's story as one could hope for. One of an edition of only 50 copies elegantly printed by Peter Koch in San Francisco, and containing a signed etching by Joseph Goldyne. The colophon is signed by both Peter Koch and Joseph Goldyne. As new. Bringhurst, Robert. JOSEPH GOLDYNE: Catalogue Raisonné of Books, Portfolios, and Calligraphic Sheets, 008.

Typescript is accompanied by the resulting recording by Dagover, the original German issue by Deustsche Grammophon, released in 1963. One of the most famous works by Zweig, an Austrian Jew who was a passionate collector of autograph manuscripts, maintained close friendships with the likes of Sigmund Freud and Richard Strauss, and whose prose took on the dual concerns of daily life and the impact of politics on everyday people.

She is quickly reeled into his very troubled life, and realizes her error too late. The novella was adapted to film in 1931, 1944, 1952, and 1968, and most recently in 2002, with the most notable among these adaptations is Max Ophuls' first American film, "Letter from an Unknown Woman" (1948), starring Joan Fontaine and Louis Jourdan.
