The Diaries of Count Harry Kessler, 1880-1918

Journey to the Abyss

Vibrantly bringing to life the frenetic, constantly changing mood of Germany and Europe between the wars, Berlin in Lights is a fascinating collection of diaries written by German aristocrat Harry Kessler, a diplomat and publisher who moved easily among the world of art, politics, and society. Kessler's diaries encompass an extraordinary variety of people from Einstein, Josephine Baker, and Bertolt Brecht to Virginia Woolf, Jean Cocteau, and Andre Gide, to name a few. Recording firsthand the agonizing collapse and death of Weimar Germany and the arrival of the Nazis, as well as the artistic and cultural movements that flourished then, his diaries beautifully encapsulate the tumultuous years between the two world wars.

WALTHER RATHENAU. SEIN LEBEN UND SEIN WERK. HARRY GRAF KESSLER.

Edward Gordon Craig

This long-awaited edition brings together for the first time 366 letters, cards and telegrams exchanged between Craig and his patron the cosmopolitan Count Kessler. An important primary source, illuminated by Dr Newman's commentary, it focuses on three areas of particular importance: - 1. Craig's artistic ideas and the spread of his influence through exhibitions and books; proposals are developed for work with Otto Brahm, Eleonora Duse, Max Reinhardt, Henry van de Velde, Eduard Verkade, Leopold Jessner, Dyaghilev, Beerbohm Tree, C. B. Cochran, and others. 2. Kessler's Cranach Press Hamlet with wood-engraved illustrations by Craig; this is a landmark in the history of twentieth-century book design and printing whose genesis is now fully revealed in these letters and amplified with reproductions of eighteen trial page proofs. 3. The relationship between an artist and his patron. Exceptionally detailed indexes are an additional feature of this book
