Description
KLEIST (Heinrich von): Gesammelte Schriften. Herausgegeben von L. Tieck. Berlin: Reimer, 1826. Three volumes, complete. 8vo, lxvi 330, [i] 418, [iv] 340pp; early mottled boards with green gilt label on spines (small section of volume 2 spine chipped, edges rubbed). Overall, a handsome set in what may be described as being in its original binding. Bookplate of MAURICE SENDAK in each volume, part of his bequest to the Rosenbach Museum & Library (S0936). First complete edition of von Kleist's writings published fifteen years after his death. "Significantly, the meritorious Kleist editions of 1821 and 1826, which testify to Tieck's unselfishness and his sure recognition of poetic geniuses, contain no sweeping salvation of Kleist's honour; the preface speaks of the 'deep disharmony' and the 'glaring contradictions' of his character; Despite his unconcealed admiration for the 'Prince of Homburg' and for the 'Narratives', Tieck cannot recognize him as a consummate poet. In no way, however, does he want to portray Kleist as an opponent of Goethe or Schiller" ( Paulin, Metzler, p. 108). . The publication of the estate has dragged on for five years.Compared to the "Beyond Writings", this edition was increased by five dramas and the "Narratives" and made Kleist known above all abroad. Tieck's extensive preface not only contains the life of Kleist (1777-1811), but also fundamental theoretical discussions on German drama of the time. Penthesilea is an 1808 tragedy by the German playwright Heinrich von Kleist about the mythological Amazon Queen Penthesilea, described as an exploration of sexual frenzy. Goethe rejected it as "unplayable". It was first performed on 25 April 1876 at the Königliches Schauspielhaus in Berlin, 65 years after the author's death. ACCOMPANIED by the first illustrated edition of Penthesilea (New York: Harper Collins, 1998) newly translated by Joel Agee and illustrated by Maurice Sendak. This is the artist's own copy of the original text, each volume with his pictorial bookplate affixed.

Description
viii+228 pages with diagrams and tables lacks frontispiece. Octavo (8" x 5 1/2") bound in 3/4 leather with black boards and gilt lettering to spine. (Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana:5210) First edition.The city of Leipzig was the birthplace of the Deutschen Schachbund on July 18th, 1877. Over the next two years sixty-two chess clubs would become members of the foundling chess federation. Hofrat von Gottschall became the chairman of the federation and Hermann Zwanzig was made the general secretary. The Deutschen Schachbund reconvened at the Schützenhaus on July 15th, 1879. To commemorate the meeting, a Schachkongresse master's tournament was organized. This inaugural event was largely an internal affair. Three invitations went out to Austrian chess masters: Berthold Englisch, Karl Pitschel, and Adolf Schwarz. The remaining nine seats went to German chess masters: Louis and Wilfried Paulsen, Max Bier, Ernst Flechsig, Fritz Riemann, Emil Schallopp, Arnold Schottlaender, Johannes Von Minckwitz, and Carl Wemmers. The field and format were extremely limited, with two rounds being played on most days of the tournament. Records have been such that ten of the sixty-six games have not survived to the present day, and therefore they have been omitted from this collection. However, what began with the Deutschen Schachbund in Leipzig in 1879 would in the next two years evolve into one of the stronger and more widely recognized of international chess competitions the world would see over the course of the latter 19th century. Berthold Englisch won this event with 9 wins out of his eleven games.Condition:Rebound in three quarter leather, lacks frontispiece portrait else a very good copy of a scarce tournament.

Description
Minneapolis, MN: MBI Publishing Company / Motorbooks, 2012. Softcover. As new. Quarto. Softcover. Illustrated wraps with white titles. 240 pages : illustrations ; 27 cm. The best hot rods are art on four wheels, and this book, a collection of studio photography of the cars produced by the world's top hot-rod builders, is nothing less than a gallery of the best of American hot rodding. Profiling top builders like Pete Chapouris, Roy Brizio, Vern Tardel, Troy Trepanier, and 15 others and featuring studio portraits of their most outstanding custom creations, this book celebrates the uniquely American marriage of mechanical know-how to an inspired sense of style and design. Built from the ground up, pieced together from salvaged parts, rebuilt with classic looks and futuristic technology- these are automotive works of art, as powerful on the page as they are on the street. Through the stunning portraiture of master photographer Peter Harholdt, Art of the Hot Rod captures these magnificent creations as never seen before.
