Printing Details

First edition, first printing. Hardback. 19 × 12.5cm, 179pp.

A rare book. It forms a positive plea for the future of mankind from the depths of war. The author, an international jurist, had fled Berlin in the late 1930s after having been stripped of his German citizenship. His is a desire for natural ethics, the main tenet being “the maximum of freedom for each, combined with the maximum regard for the life and freedom of every other”.

Condition

Fair to poor. Whilst the book remains in good readable condition, the cloth binding is badly shaken, with rippling and grubby marks, and some wear to the hinges. However, the main body of text is in better condition and is complete.
