Ich an Dich

One of the most unusual bestsellers in the Third Reich, and the prototype for many gift books: Dinah Nelken's "Ich an Dich: Ein Roman in Briefen mit einer Geschichte und ihrer Moral für Liebende und solche, die es werden wollen" (Me to You: An Epistolary Novel with a Story and Moral for Lovers and Those Who Wish to Become Such)
(Ref: 2021. ADAMS, Bestsellers of the Third Reich, p152)

First edition published in 1939, this edition in 1941.

Richly illustrated with many pasted-in slips of paper, tickets, notes, photos, and other ephemera. The epistolary novel was created in collaboration with Nelken's brother, the painter Rolf Georg Schneider.
