1928 Alfred Neumann THE PATRIOT 1st Edition, 1st Print w/DJ Tsar, Napoleon Play

Description: *** I can only find one other copy for sale at the time of posting for $750 on a rare book site*** Considered one of the greatest German plays of the 20th century and adapted into a now legendary “lost”Hollywood movie that was nominated for five academy awards, including best picture, and won for best screenplay. The Patriot, a play by Alfred Neumann. Translated from the German play “Der Patriot” and adapted by Ashley Dukes. Introduction by Hendrix Willem Van Loon. Published in 1928 by Boni & Liveright in New York City, first US edition, first printing. 142 pages. Octavo. In original cloth boards and original dust jacket. Right cut pages. OVERALL CONDITION: VERY GOOD A play about the conflicts of a Russian nobleman in a country ruled by the Mad Czar and threatened by Napoleon. Basis for one of the most elusive of all "lost films," Ernest Lubitsch's 1928 production with Emil Jannings, Florence Vidor, and Lewis Stone. It was a 1930 nominee for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Stone, and two other Oscars. It won only for screenplay - a silent film in the first year of the talkies. Some fragments of the film exist but the complete version has been lost. Alfred Neumann (15 October 1895 – 3 October 1952) was a German writer of novels, stories, poems, plays, and films, as well as a translator into German. Neumann was born in Lautenburg, Germany (now Poland). He was a recipient of the Kleist Prize in 1926 and his writings were banned during the Third Reich. His novel Der Patriot was turned into a play and filmed in 1928, directed by Ernst Lubitsch. He was working in Italy when Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933. The Nazi party seized all his property due to his Jewish heritage. He remained in Italy until 1938 when he moved to France.
