, Hecker, Jutta, 1904-2002. Wieland. Die Geschichte eines Menschen in der Zeit. Weimar, Kiepenheuer, 1959, 210pp. with illus. 20 cm, very good dust-jacket with a few minor tears, very good paper-covered boards, hardcover, previous owner's name. Daughter of Goethe archivist Max Hecker, Jutta Hecker became a symbol of the great culture of Weimar with her Goethe editorial work. Her historical novels were popular. Wolfgang G. Vögele wrote: "Alle ihre biografischen Erzählungen und romanhaften Biografien zeichnen sich durch Detailkenntnis, einfühlsame Erfindungsgabe und einen gepflegten Sprachstil aus." An interesting link through the DDR back to the lost culture of the 1920s and the era of Goethe admiration.
