Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. A first printing of the first UK edition, published in 1940, in the scarce wartime dustwrapper - published by Secker & Warburg under wartime restrictions. A very fragile small-format book. ***Very good in bright green cloth-covered boards with dark-red titles to the spine. The boards are very slightly marked but generally clean, with a small patch of fading at the top of the spine (corresponding with a small area of loss to the dustwrapper). Edges and corners of boards slightly rubbed. No bumps or tears to the cloth. Corners sharp. Slight reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Edges of page block slightly foxed, and darkened at the top edge. Internally also very good, with no previous ownership inscriptions. No foxing or offsetting. Pages clean. Printed on quite thick paper. There is a small number written in pencil on the rear pastedown (please see scans). ***In a very good original printed dustwrapper, which is largely complete, with just some small loss at the head and tail of the spine and top edge of the back panel. There are also a couple of closed tears to the top edge of the back panel of the dustwrapper (please see scans). The dustwrapper is unclipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 1s. 6d. net at the bottom corner of the front flap. The spine of the dustwrapper is slightly darkened, and the red titles are slightly faded, but the front and back panels are very clean. There is some edge wear and small nicks to the edges, but the very fragile and thin dustwrapper remains in very good condition. ***185mm x 120mm. 62 pages including a publisher's advert at the back of the book. ***'Here once again, as in "The Coming Victory of Democracy," is a clear and noble statement from the greatest living German author, saturated with the humanist tradition springing from Goethe, decisive about the problems of the modern world and the crusade against Nazism. In this small book Mann nails to the mast the standard of decency in its struggle against barbarism, sets forth the values implicit in the European tradition against the false gods of aggression and force. Mann accuses the German leaders of betraying not only Europe in general but Germany in particular. The German people, too, do not remain unscathed beneath the lash of his pen, but he appeals to that large section inside Germany who, by their efforts in collaboration with the Allies, may yet save Europe much bloodshed and much misery. The democracies too, he claims, must give up their devotion to the all-powerful nation state and, at whatever cost to so-called national interests, collaborate fully and freely in a new European federation. (Quote taken from the front panel and flap of the dustwrapper) ***'Thomas Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929, after he had been nominated by Anders Österling, member of the Swedish Academy, principally in recognition of his popular achievements with "Buddenbrooks" (1901), "The Magic Mountain" (Der Zauberberg, 1924), and his numerous short stories.'
