Kierkegaard, Søren [Soren]; translated by Knud Fick
The Diary Of A Seducer
Publisher: Dragon Press Ithaca NY 1932.
Very Good- with no dust jacket Limited Ed Hardcover Sp sun, light cock, lt tone. Solid copy. INSCRIBED by translator. First English-language translation of this novel (per ad). Edition limited to 500 copies. Translation of novel Forførenens Dagbog, published as part of Enten-Eller in 1843. "During the period in which Kierkegaard desired to end his engagement, he laid out in his diary a plan in which, by behaving repulsively, he would cause Regine herself to break it off, thereby allwoing the slander to fall on him. It did not succeed. But in " Forforerens Dagbog" the diarist, Johannes, succeeds in both seducing a woman and disposing of her by conducting an experiment . . . in poeticizing oneself out of a girl in such a way as to make her so proud that she imagined it was she who was so bored with the relationship. " - Finn Hauberg Mortensen, "Soren Kierkegaard", Danish Writers fromn the Reformation to Decadence, DLB 300. An uncommon first English edition, inscribed by its translator!; 173+3 pages; Signed by Translator
