FIRST EDITION, first printing of Kierkegaard's famous "Sickness unto Death". Bound in modern 19th-century style marbled boards with gold on black label on spine. A lovely copy except for one major defect: a water stain (3" x 4") prominently positioned on the upper inside of the title page and continuing throughout the text. The stain get lighter and smaller as the book goes on until it is about 1.5" x 2" on the last page. "This anatomy of despair is one of Kierkegaard's two greatest works (along with _Training in Chrisitianity_) and one of the mose densely reasoned dialectical works in the history of philosophy. 1 blank leaf + title page + [i]-[ii] + Forord + [iii]-[iv] + Indhold + half-title + [1]-136. Small octavo. Overall in VERY GOOD condition. Photos available upon request.
