| ELVERS, HANNS HEINZ (TRANSLATED BY S. GUY ENDORE). Alraune. NEW YORK, John Day Company, 1929, First Edition (Limited). HARDCOVER. The Alraune story derives from a German folk myth that revolves around the mandrake root, the storied man-shaped plant believed to form in the earth only beneath trees where criminals had been hanged. It was thought that hanged men ejaculated when their necks were broken and these drops fell upon the ground and formed the magical plant. long-and-widely used for love potions, fertility drugs, etc. Further, if a witch used Mandrake root in an auto-erotic ritual, she would produce a child lacking both a soul, and (thus) the ability to experience or express love. Alraune weaves a tale of variation upon these themes. A scientist experimenting with heredity, impregnates a prostitute with some of these aforesaid last essential drops, produces a girl child who suffers life-long from her inability to have true love, and who, after discovering her origins, seeks revenge upon her creator. Twelve haunting pen and ink illustrations by Mahlon Blaine, self-taught art-deco illustrator, known for his "beautiful and sensuous women, who could also be satanic and dangerous..." Our copy has been professionally re-backed in black half-leather, with red spine label, and gilt stamping. Red, black and gold decoration to front panel faded some. Moderate shelfwear to boards, and occasional foxing throughout, though no illustrations are significantly affected. , VERY GOOD PLUS.
