About This Item

Kjøbenhavn: C.A. Reitzel, 1838. First edition. Wraps. Very Good +. First Edition of Kierkegaard’s First Book KIERKEGAARD, Soren. Af en endnu Levendes Papirer (From the Papers of One Still Living), C.A. Reitzel, Kjøbenhavn, 1838. 1 blank leaf + TP + Half-title ("On Andersen as a Novelist with Constant Reference to his Work: Only a Fiddler") + iii-x = Forord + [1]-79, 12mo. First Edition (Himmelstrup 6). Kierkegaard's first book published "against his will" (as noted on TP). "Kierkegaard's first book, a rather merciless ad hominem attack on the great children's storyteller Hans Christian Andersen's attempt at a serious novel, Kun en Spillemand (Only a Fiddler). The work's importance - an old joke has it that only Kierkegaard and Andersen read the book - lies less in the critique of Andersen's novel than in its presentation, in tentative but recognizable form, of Kierkegaard's theory of the individual, or rather, of his characteristically passionate advocacy of a particular brand of individualism, here advanced in part through a rejection of the explicit romantic sentimentality and implicit social determinism of Andersen's plea for the self-pitying genius..." (John Wronoski, Lame Duck Books 24, Søren Kierkegaard: A Collection Of The First Editions, p. 8). CONDITION: Very good+ Rebound (not recently) in blue paper covers. Pages untrimmed. Overall, a very nice copy. Quite rare.
