Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Stated First Edition. I believe this was the first English edition published. You can see the green covers the photos provided. They are in very nice condition. There is a dulling of the green around the front bottom corner. The gilt lettering on the spine is very bright. The six edges and four corners are in excellent shape. There isn't much wear on the covers, just a little crinkling/bending at the spine ends. The top page edge is a mustard color (so are the inside covers and end papers that have a little bit of fading to pink). Oddly the mustard color on the top page edge doesn't cover the last half inch, near to the middle page edge. The middle page edge is deckled or rough-cut. They did a good job. The spine has a very slight forward lean, but the book is very solidly bound with nicely tight pages throughout. The covers are also tightly bound. The pages are exceptionally clean. I scrolled through several times without finding any instances of soiling. The end papers are also very clean. I'm not seeing any creasing, no turned-down corners. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. I've had it in a fitted protective cover for as long as I've owned the book which goes back a good number of years. The jacket would be near-perfect were it not for the stain off the bottom edge (see photos). I've rated the jacket only Good for that reason alone. There is very little other wear on the jacket. The flaps are in excellent condition. There is a very small pinkish discoloration off the bottom edge of the front flap. There is no other wear of any kind. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. I had originally intended to price the book at $45.00. I lowered that after noticing and recalling that the jacket had the stain. From the dust jacket: 'First published in 1915, Knulp was Hesse's most popular book in the years before Demian. This edition, however is the first in English. Knulp is an amiable vagabond who wanders from town to town, staying with friends who readily feed and shelter this happy creature, this child of the spirit. His world is that of the senses and of play-- it was the erotic instinct which first sent him on the road-- and he consistently refuses to tie himself down to any trade, place, or person. He even deserts the companion who might be considered Herman Hesse himself the summer they go tramping together; in "My Recollections of Knulp," we hear of those days, and of the revealing conversations the two wanderers had. Knulp's exile is for him blissful, gentle, self-absorbed. But hidden beneath the light surface of these "tales from the Life of Knulp" is the conscience of an artist who suspects that his liberation is worthless, even immoral. As he lies dying in a snowstorm, Knulp has an interview with God in which he reproaches himself for his wasted life. And God explains that it had been the whole purpose of Knulp's life to bring "a little homesickness for freedom" into the lives of ordinary men. This engaging and ultimately moving book, whose admirers include Andre Gide, marks the end of Hesse's youth, the years that produced Peter Camenzind, Beneath the Wheel, Gertrude, and Rosshalde.'.
