Der Fall Wagner (The Case of Wagner).

Descripción

TP + 3 leaves + [1]-57 + [58], Octavo. Schaberg 54. Nietzsche had 1,000 copies of this work privately printed but 500 of them were falsely marked "Second Edition" so there were originally only 500 copies in this state. In mid-1888, Nietzsche returned to the subject of Wagner and produced this polemic against his former friend and mentor whom he attacks in a volley of witty barbs against both the man and his music. By this time, Nietzsche saw Wagner as not just a singular problem but one which was symptomatic of his entire culture - both Wagner and modernity were basically decadent. Both of them, he contends, lack integrity, manifesting instead a type of anarchy in which "life no longer dwells in the whole". A Nietzschean tour-de-force. Lacking the original covers, this copy is wrapped browned plain paper wraps. Very slight occasional light pencil markings. Minor indentation to right margin throughout. House in an elegant half-leather with marbled boards clamshell bookcase. A very pretty copy of a rare work. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. N° de ref. del artículo 12
