Rilke, Rainer Maria. Die Letzten.
Berlin: Juncker, 1902 [i.e. 1901]. First edition Original white suede, gilt, slightly rubbed, a nice copy. Early ownership stamp of Doctor Iuris Arthur Rosenberger, Berlin-Charlottenburg. First edition of three early short stories, one of 1000 copies printed. Die Letzten was the first book of Rilke's published by Juncker, a Danish publisher who shared the writer's concern for the physical appearance of the work. An attractive although fragile volume, the majority of the copies were bound in paper wrappers. The Rilke scholar George Schoolfield has called the title story "a grotesque and fascinating melange of themes... one of Rilke's most tantalizing works, a bizarre conclusion to his early fiction." Ritzer E31.
