ADORNO, Theodor W Minima Moralia: Reflexionen aus dem beschaedigten Leben. Berlin/Frankfurt am Main: Suhrkamp, (1951)
Octavo, 481 pp. First edition of one of the most beautiful and poignant books of modernity, Adorno's attempt to shore up the ruins of a European civilization he believed to be all but lost in a series of aphoristic meditations on the possibility of right living amid universal corruption. Discreet former owner's signature to front pastedown, else a fine copy in publishers' blue cloth and dust jacket. Rarely encountered in such condition.
