Pirandello in Weimar

Jeder nach seiner Art
Eine Komödie in zwei oder frei Akten
Alf Häger Verlag – Berlin, 1925

In Italian: Ciascuno a suo modo, 1924.

English rendering is Each in His Own Way (a comedy in two or three acts)...

The German title page, in full—

.

..Mit Zwischenshpielen: "with interludes."

Front and back covers use a very nice watercolor effect.

Spaces between the color blocks have faint traces of gilt, though it's too worn to show well in images.

I don't find any history for this publisher, just references to a few titles issued. Also from 1925 is this Pirandello edition, with another embossed gilt cover—

Along with avant garde theater as represented by Pirandello, in 1925 the company published books on Indian Buddhism and Jainism. Those titles are cited in some books on Indian religions written decades later in the twentieth century.

Alf Häger Verlag also published a 1924 work by Thomas Mann, Okkulte Erlebnisse (Occult Experiences).

The author of this article about Mann notes owning an autographed copy that was number 49 of 75.

It may be that this company published small runs of works on specialized intellectual interests. Volumes were handsomely made; perhaps not so unusual, considering the craftsmanship of the period, but the Pirandello cover designs were executed with care. Perhaps these and the other titles were collectors' volumes issued by a publisher in business a short time.
