EISLER, Robert.
Man Into Wolf.
An Anthropological Interpretation of Sadism, Masochism, and Lycanthropy. A lecture delivered at a meeting of the Royal Society of Medicine, with an introduction by David K. Henderson.
First Edition of one of the oddest works in the field of werewolf studies, the main text being that of the short lecture described in the title, massively amplified by some 220 pages of notes and appendices, spectacularly learned, abstruse, allusive and suggestive. The author, an Austrian historian, had survived Buchenwald and Dachau and knew at first hand the ubiquity of man's bestial nature.
Octavo. Original brown cloth, titles to spine gilt. With the dust jacket. Spine rolled. An excellent copy in the rubbed, marked, and chipped jacket with tape residue and some pen trials to the lower panel.
