Translation of Zeitgemasses uber Krieg und Tod, Imago 1915 4:1, not published separately in German until 1924. NY: Moffat, 1922. [2nd printing in English]. [First published 1918 as Reflections on War and Death.; First issued in English translation in 1918. Translated from the German]. [vi]+71+[3]pp. 16mo. Printed red cloth with gilt lettering. Spine snagged and a bit dull, a very good copy with light shelfwear. This 2nd printing is reset and newly copyrighted with no indication that Moffat, Yard had already published the book in 1918. "Freud wrote the present work (first published 1915 in Vol. 4 of Imago) in an attempt to come to terms with the unprecedented horrors of the first World War, which had destroyed the illusion that humanity had progressed to a permanent high level of ethics and civilization. The second part of the work dealt with 'civilized' and 'primal' attitudes toward death, and described how war strips away the veneer of the first to reveal the second" [Norman Catalog]. Binding: HB.
