First editions of the works of Hannah Arendt. Octavo, 7 volumes, bound in full morocco by the Harcourt Bindery with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, gilt ruling to the front and rear panel, gilt inner dentelles stamp-signed by the Harcourt Bindery, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. An exceptional set. Hannah Arendt was a historian and philosopher, who was one of the most influential political theorists of the twentieth century. Her works cover a broad range of topics, but she is best known for those dealing with the nature of wealth, power, and evil, as well as politics, direct democracy, authority, tradition, and totalitarianism. She is also remembered for the controversy surrounding the trial of Adolf Eichmann, for her attempt to explain how ordinary people become actors in totalitarian systems, which was considered by some an apologia, and for the phrase "the banality of evil." Her name appears in the names of journals, schools, scholarly prizes, humanitarian prizes, think-tanks, and streets; appears on stamps and monuments; and is attached to other cultural and institutional markers that commemorate her thought.

First edition of this masterpiece, by one of the most important and influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed and dated by Hannah Arendt on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box by the Harcourt Bindery. Exceptionally rare and desirable signed. Hannah Arendt is "widely recognized as one of the most original and influential political thinkers of the 20th century." Origins of Totalitarianism, her first book in America, "established Arendt's reputation as a political thinker and has a good claim to be regarded as the key to her work" (Cambridge Companion, 1, 25). In this volume, "her acknowledged masterwork⦠she not only offered a uniquely clear-sighted, broad account of twentieth-century totalitarian politics and their antecedents, she also provided⦠a landmark contribution to the discourse of international human rights" (Benhabib, Politics in Dark Times, 83, 1). Consisting of three sections, Antisemitism, Imperialism and Totalitarianism, Origins "was written, simply, to begin what Arendt called 'the interminable dialogue' with a new and horrific form of politics⦠It was in this book that Arendt began to grapple with the problem of political evilâ"evil as policyâ"on an enormous and hitherto unimaginable scale" (Cambridge Companion, 2). Le Monde placed the book among the 100 best books of any kind of the 20th century, while the National Review ranked it #15 on its list of the 100 best non-fiction books of the century. The Intercollegiate Studies Institute listed it among the 50 best non-fiction books of the century.

First edition of Drucker's first book. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by Peter F. Drucker on the front free endpaper. An excellent near fine example in a very good dust jacket with some wear and tear. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Rare, especially signed. In this long recognized cornerstone work, Drucker explains and interprets fascism and Nazism as fundamental revolutions. It is a social and political effort to explain the subjective consequences of the social upheavals caused by warfare. This work was singled out for praise in both sides of the Atlantic, and is considered by the author to be his most prescient effort in social history. The New York Times calls it "a challenging and penetrating analytical study of the totalitarian state." Mr. Drucker is one of those writers to whom almost anything can be forgiven because he not only has a mind of his own, but has the gift of starting other minds along a stimulating line of thought" (Winston Churchill).
