AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Remarkably beautiful and fully complete 3-volume set of the monumental cultural-philosophical masterpiece "Der Untergang des Abendlandes" by the German philosopher Oswald Spengler.
This concerns the early, sought-after editions from the 1920s, published by the renowned C.H. Beck’sche Verlagsbuchhandlung in Munich. What makes this set unique is that, in addition to Part 1 and Part 2, the then separately issued (and now rare) index part (Namen- und Sachverzeichnis) is also present.
The set consists of:
• Part 1: First Volume - Gestalt und Wirklichkeit (Edition: 1923, 33rd–47th completely redesigned edition).
• Part 2: Second Volume - Welt-Historische Perspektiven (Edition: 1922, 16th–30th edition).
• Part 3: Namen- und Sachverzeichnis (Edition: 1923, accompanying index for both volumes).
Specifications & Condition:
• Language: German (Fraktur / Gothic typeface)
• Binding: Original half-cloth/paper boards with the authentic geometric border design and the bookseller stamp 'Jost' on the cover.
• Condition: In good, sturdy antiquarian condition. The bindings show the light, characteristic signs of aging and patina appropriate for books over 100 years old. The text blocks are solid. The index volume contains a neat, handwritten owner’s name from that period on the title page.
A beautiful, historically valuable set for the serious collector, philosopher, or enthusiast of historical key texts.
