The German-Jewish writer Jacob (Jakob) Wasserman (1873-1934) was friend to Rilke and Mann; his works were banned by the Nazis in 1933. He admitted to a long fascination with the famed African explorer/missionary. The Victorians are currently not perhaps as appreciated as they once were, but Stanley's reputation has not suffered. This is a Very Good copy of the First Edition. Uncommon to scarce. Green cloth binding, ruled on the front;titling in gilt on the spine. Translation from the original German by Eden and Cedar Paul. Clean text; 271 pages; green topstain. Map of "Stanley's Three Journeys" as endpapers; frontis illustration and three others within. Indexed. Contemporary (1933) gift inscription on the half-title. Some spotting to the page-ends; a bit scattered within. The dustjacket features a striking illustration of Stanley. It has been clipped, and shows edgewear, with some chipping and tearing at the margins; spine has darkened. In an archival plastic protector. Size: 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall.
