About This Item
Berlin: Neuer Deutscher Verlag, 1929. First edition (1.-20. Tausend). Hardcover. Very good condition. Small Quarto. 231 [5]pp. Original boards with embossed photomontage by John Heartfield on front and back cover; protected by modern mylar. Tan endpapers. The book was designed by John Heartfield.
"Deutschland, Deutschland Über Alles" by German-Jewish writer Kurt Tucholsky (1890-1935) is a work of fierce social criticism of the late 1920's Germany. Tucholsky, also a journalist and satirist, warned against antidemocratic tendencies and the threat of National Socialism. This is apparent in his choice of Heartfield's anti-Hitler photomontage on the cover of this work. His books were banned, blacklisted by the Nazi's as "Entartete Kunst," and burned. Tucholsky also wrote under the pseudonym Kaspar Hauser. Profusely illustrated with b/w reproductions of photographs by Tucholsky, W. Nettelbeck, Robert Sennecke, Hans Schroeder, Otto Storch, Otto Haeckel, R. Horlemann, and many others.
Text in German. Light wear along edges of binding and two small, light stains on front cover. Ever so lightly starting at half-title. Block very lightly age-toned, not affecting photographs.
