First edition in English of Frankl's classic work, which was later titled Man's Search For Meaning in 1962. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel on the front free endpaper. Both Frankl and Wiesel survived Auschwitz, and both spent the rest of their lives transmuting that survival into something the world needed. Frankl arrived at Auschwitz in 1944 as a thirty-nine-year-old Viennese neurologist and psychiatrist with a nearly complete manuscript of what would become logotherapy hidden in the lining of his coat. (It was confiscated and destroyed; he reconstructed it after the war.) Wiesel arrived a few months earlier, at fifteen, and was separated at the selection ramp from his mother and youngest sister, whom he never saw again. The age difference matters enormously. Frankl entered the camps with an intellectual apparatus already in place, and used the experience to test it under the most extreme conditions imaginable. Wiesel was formed by them. Man's Search for Meaning, published in 1946, is fundamentally a constructive document â" Auschwitz becomes the proving ground for Frankl's thesis that meaning can be discovered even in unspeakable suffering, and that the human will to meaning is more primary than Freud's pleasure principle or Adler's will to power. Night is a work of refusal. Wiesel resisted any framing that would let the reader close the wound â" no theodicy, no consolation, no redemptive arc. The most famous passage in the book, in which a child is hanged and a voice asks where God is, ends not with an answer but with an answer that is also an indictment. This is the deep tension between them. Frankl is the great affirmer â" even Auschwitz, he insists, cannot strip a person of the last human freedom, the freedom to choose one's attitude toward one's suffering. Wiesel is the great refuser â" to find Auschwitz meaningful, in any redemptive sense, risks a betrayal of the dead. And yet both men insisted, equally fiercely, on the obligation to bear witness, on memory as a moral category, and on the irreducible dignity of the human person. Wiesel's 1986 Nobel lecture, with its insistence that silence always serves the tormentor and never the tormented, is in some deep sense kin to Frankl's project, even though Frankl reaches for therapy and Wiesel for literature and theology. There is also a quieter connection between them as both were rooted, before the war, in Central European Jewish intellectual life â" Frankl in Vienna's psychoanalytic culture, against which he positioned himself; Wiesel in the Hasidic world of Sighet, which he later honored at length in Souls on Fire and elsewhere. Each carried a destroyed world inside him and each refused to let it disappear. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Translated by Ilse Lasch. Preface by Gordon Allport. Originally published in German, in 1946 under the name Ein Psycholog erlecbt das konzentrationslager. Rare and desirable signed by this legendary survivor, leader and award-winning writer. Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful. At the time of Frankl's death, Man's Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. A 1991 reader survey for the Library of Congress that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your life" found Man's Search for Meaning among the ten most influential books in America. "An enduring work of survival literature" (New York Times).

Great content in which Dick and Warrick discuss TMITHC as well as Dick s Philosophy and hidden meaning of featured names. The content of all three original letters has been published in The Selected Letters of Philip K. Dick Volume Five 1977 1979″ In letter one, dated 8 October 1977, Dick reveals that High Castle is a historical fortress revered by Bohemians because of the role it played in the 30-Years War [1618-1648]. The High Castle became a symbol of the centre of religious and political freedom against the autocratic Catholic Hapsburgs. The title of Dick s novel is a symbol of Abendsen s revolt against the tyranny of the Nazis. Dick further explains that the protagonist s name Abendsen , symbolically opposes the Nazi Reich which is essentially an Eastern Power. Dick further explains how he researched the Nazi cult of castles where young SS officers were trained. Lastly, the title was chosen in an ironic way as Abendsen does not live in a castle-like structure as it is only a rumour much like the sci-fi writer Bob Heinlein. Signed in full as Philip K.

I am eternally curious. In near fine condition with light creases and usual central folds to fit the envelope. In letter three, dated 18 Nov 1977, Dick responds to seeing Patricia s photo with May I buy you a drink? He further explains why he believes in the Gnostic duality. Then he provides more information on the SS castle system, and explains that his interest in the Naziz derives from WWII and him majoring in German at high school. He also admired German culture and wanted to understand it better by learning the language. He reveals that every novel is a crisis for him as he worries that he would not be able to finish it.

Among the finest MLK letters we have seen on the market?He references ?the Negro's constant struggle for full equality and human dignity?, and sees with satisfaction the Civil Rights struggle as having made significant progress, foreseeing its success?The honor from Time was not his alone, but ?a tribute to the entire civil rights struggle and the millions of gallant people all over the nation who are working so untiringly to bring the American dream into reality?Time has become renowned for annually naming a ??Man of the Year,?? doing so in the first issue of a new year, and featuring and profiling a person, group, idea or object that "for better or for worse,?has done the most to influence the events? of the previous year. To receive the honor was more than prestigious; it drew broad attention to the winner?s work. The winners for 1961 and 1962 were President Kennedy and Pope John XXIII, respectively.1963 was a pivotal point for the Civil Rights Movement. It was a year of the outcry for equality, of massive demonstrations, of sit-ins and speeches and street confrontations, of soul searching and psalm singing. Nineteen million Negro citizens and their allies forced the nation to take stock of itself?in the Congress and in the corporation, in factory and field, in restaurant and store, in pulpit and playground, in kitchen and classroom. At the head of this movement, and its symbol, was Martin Luther King Jr., and many saw him as a Moses sent to lead his people to the Promised Land of first-class citizenship. His speeches were models of inspiration that nourished hope and excoriated injustice.On April 12, 1963, Dr. King was arrested with Ralph Abernathy by Birmingham Police Commissioner "Bull" Connor for demonstrating without a permit. This launched the Birmingham campaign which would prove to be the turning point in the war to end segregation in the South. During the eleven days he spent in prison, King wrote his famous Letter from Birmingham Jail. On May 10, the Birmingham agreement was announced, whereunder the city?s stores, restaurants and schools would be desegregated, hiring of blacks implemented, and charges against civil rights leaders dropped. On June 23, King lead over 200,000 people on a Freedom Walk in Detroit. Then came the most famous moment in King?s long career and long struggle: The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, which took place in Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1963. Attended by some 250,000 people, it was the largest demonstration ever seen in the nation's capital up to that time, and one of the first to have extensive television coverage. During that march, King delivered his ?I_Have a Dream?_speech, which remains one of the most famous speeches in American history. He started with prepared remarks, saying he was there to "cash a check" for "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," while advising fellow protesters that non-violence was key to the movement: ?We must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force." But then he departed from his script, shifting into the "I have a dream" theme, speaking of an America where his children "will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." He followed this with an exhortation to "let freedom ring" across the nation. The impact of all of this on the American people was enormous, and you could see people?s perceptions changing. Now King?s agenda came to the front and center of the national consciousness.Time magazine saw King as the personification of the Civil Rights Movement, and in its January 4, 1964 issue, gave him Man of the Year honors for 1963. In that issue, the cover featured a portrait of King by artist Robert Vickrey, and a seven-page article that highlighted King?s leadership in the civil rights movement. It featured pictures of King during some of the most memorable moments of his civil rights career, including a meeting with President Lyndon B. Johnson, and King?s arrest in B.
