Mann signs on the limited edition page of the first volume, with no handwritten number present.

A German Lutheran by birth, Mann would ultimately emigrate to Switzerland and the United States once Hitler came to power in World War II, and is one of the leading German authors who wrote while in exile, criticizing the Third Reich. Two volumes are bound in publisher’s green and gray faux-vellum boards with gothic gilt lettering on spine. Tissued frontispieces in each volume. Light shelf wear and mild discoloration to boards.
