(#133675) WENN WIR 1918 ... EINE REALPOLITISCHE UTOPIE. Walter Müller.

WENN WIR 1918 ... EINE REALPOLITISCHE UTOPIE. Berlin: Malik-Verlag, [1930]. Octavo, pp. [1-6] 7-455 [456], original oatmeal buckram cloth, front and spine panels stamped in orange, top edge stained orange, black ribbon marker. First edition. In this alternate history political fantasy "rather than projecting his story into the future, he erased the previous twelve years and speculated as to what could have taken place if, instead of falling under this disastrous leadership of the SPD, the proletariat had united to follow the radical socialists ... Much of WENN WIR 1918 is a detailed account of the war between capitalists and socialists ... Even if the brief time frame for the world revolution seemed unrealistic, Müller's imaginative, forceful style and the enthusiasm with which he described the travails of the revolutionaries helped make WENN WIR 1918 a powerful appeal to his fellow disheartened socialists." - Fisher, Fantasy and Politics: Visions of the Future in the Weimar Republic, pp. 201-02; 206. Negley, Utopian Literature 828. Lexikon 2, p. 194. Bloch (2000) 2210. Not in Nagl. A nearly fine copy. (#133675).
