Thomas Mann signed copy of ''The Magic Mountain'', one of only 200 in this limited first U.S. edition. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 1927. Mann signs on the limited edition page of the first volume, with no handwritten number present. A highpoint of early 20th century fiction, ''The Magic Mountain'' helped earn Mann his Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929, telling the story of a man who survives illness and its spectre of death, only to be killed on the battlefield in World War I. A German Lutheran by birth, Mann would ultimately emigrate to Switzerland and the United States once Hitler came to power in World War II, and is one of the leading German authors who wrote while in exile, criticizing the Third Reich. Two volumes are bound in publisher's green and gray faux-vellum boards with gothic gilt lettering on spine. Tissued frontispieces in each volume. Light shelf wear and mild discoloration to boards. Faint block of toning to limited edition page. Overall a very good to near fine set.
