A delightfully eccentric fin-de-si\u00e8cle love novel by Paul Scheerbart, subtitled \u201cA railway novel with 66 intermezzos.\u201d Rather than following a conventional plot, the book unfolds in playful fragments-comic, philosophical, and surreal-moving with the rhythm of travel and modern life. – The unforgettable illustrated title page, showing a cat calmly enthroned atop a human heart-clock, perfectly reflects Scheerbart’s wit and imagination. Published in 1897, the book anticipates later avant-garde and surrealist sensibilities, combining humor, irony, and gentle provocation in equal measure. An engaging and uncommon example of early modernist experimentation, appealing to collectors of avant-garde literature, illustrated books, and literary curiosities. – Extremly rare first edition of Scheerbaert’s third publication, within the illustrated front wrapper in mint condition. -W.-G 3. Der ideale Leser wei\u00df, das die Dichter nichts anderes wollen, nichts anderes denken als Ihn zu unterhalten, zu zerstreuen, zu am\u00fcsieren, und erkennt seine Dichter, er wei\u00df das seine Dichter s\u00e4mtlich vor Ihm knien und weitere Anrufungen des Geehrten im Vorwort Paul Scheerbart 1863 -1915 blieb zeitlebens ein literarischer Einzelg\u00e4nger, er war ein Autor f\u00fcr wenige dem Spott und Hohn aber auch begeisterte Zustimmung zuteil worden. In seiner Poesie teilweise exzentrisch \u00fcberschlug sich Scheerbart in grotesken Einf\u00e4llen und absurden Phantasien schon zu Lebzeiten war Scheerbart eine Legende seiner selbst, er kokettierte mit den literarischen Str\u00f6mungen der Moderne verspielt und ornamental in der Zeit des Naturalismus, phantastisch in der Zeit des Expressionismus Raketenflug und Mondreise inbegriffen. Seine meist in kleinen Auflagen erschienenen Romane und Kurzgeschichten, beeinflussten dennoch die Literatur der Moderne. Seine Theaterst\u00fccke begr\u00fcndeten das moderne Theater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29038,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[176,1079,32,825,914],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-29036","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-first-edition","product_cat-katzen","product_cat-literatur","product_cat-scheerbart","product_cat-zvab","first","instock","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antiquariat-steinbach.com\/rarebooks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/29036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/antiquariat-steinbach.com\/rarebooks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/antiquariat-steinbach.com\/rarebooks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/antiquariat-steinbach.com\/rarebooks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/29036\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29733,"href":"https:\/\/antiquariat-steinbach.com\/rarebooks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/29036\/revisions\/29733"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antiquariat-steinbach.com\/rarebooks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/antiquariat-steinbach.com\/rarebooks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antiquariat-steinbach.com\/rarebooks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=29036"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antiquariat-steinbach.com\/rarebooks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=29036"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antiquariat-steinbach.com\/rarebooks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=29036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
