SURÉN, Hans
Selbstmassage, Pflege der Haut. Für alle Leibesübungen, für alle Berufe, für Männer und Frauen.
Stuttgart, Dieck & Co., 1928. 8vo. Orig. decorated boards. This copy is a 33rd edition. With 8 pages of publisher's ads. 136, (8) p. Cover a bit foxed. With inserted advertising folder for 'Das Leben des Menschen' by Fritz Kahn, with a blurb by Surén and two curious illustrations. "Self massage, care of the skin". About auto-massage, illustrated with some 60 pictures of the author, fully naked, massaging himself. Some of his photographed massage actions seem not far from masturbation. Surén suffered from narcissism and a grossly inflated ego. He later was an active nazi. After a period of huge popularity in the 20's and 30's, his books were discarded during the Second World War, and he himself accused of obscenities.
