There is a distinct, rhythmic quality to Wister’s transition from praising German culture to grappling with the moral shock of the conflict in Europe. Carrying the honest shelf wear of over a century and the natural yellowing of its pages, this copy adds a real sense of history and character to a library display or a specialized collection.
