Sobre este item
Boston: Allen and Ticknor, 1833. The tale of Caspar Hauser (1812-1833), a supposed "wild child" raised outside of normal civilization, has fascinated the world for two centuries now and resulted in at least two motion pictures and several literary treatments. The author, [Paul Johann] Anselm Von [Ritter] Feuerbach (1775-1833) was a famous legal scholar of the time, but his fame now is linked to this wild innocent. This is a Very Good (Plus) copy of the Second American Edition (stated) from a year aftyer the First. Far from a common book. Purple cloth binding (now more of a pink) with a green paper label on the spine. Clean text; ix, 168 pages; very bright and clear. Frontis engraving of Hauser; Preface by Francis Lieber. Contemporary signature on the FFEP. Mild bumps, with the spine faded to a tan colour. Was Hauser a fake? Modern scholarship suggests he was, but we live in less miraculous times. Judge for yourself. . Second American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good (Plus)/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
