About This Item
Limited signed and numbered edition, 94 of 250, revised edition. Marlene Dietrich's alphabet of all her favourite things. This book is a window to the interior life of the German-American Hollywood star, from her political preoccupations, to her views on marriage. From an entry on Goethe: "My idol. [...] He sanctioned love without condition, without pride", to a definition of love: "Love for the joy of loving, and not for the offerings of someone else's heart", this book shows the depths and range of an important figure of the twentieth century, celebrated not only for her artistry and glamour, but also for her humanitarian efforts, which won her Medal Freedom for her stance against Nazism and her support of Allied Troops. A special revised copy. Includes photographs of Dietrich throughout her life.
Hardcover, 183 pp. White cloth binding in pristine condition. Original dust jacket, very slightly worn on edges. Toning on the spine. Overall in very good condition.
