About This Vintage 1964 Edition
"Markings" by Dag Hammarskjöld, published by Alfred A. Knopf in New York, 1964, stands as a profound philosophical autobiography. This ninth printing, released in December 1964, offers insight into the thoughts of the former United Nations Secretary-General. Translated from the Swedish by Leif Sjöberg and W.H. Auden, with a foreword by Auden, this edition captures Hammarskjöld's reflective diary entries that blend personal introspection with philosophical musings. Although not a first edition, this printing holds significance for collectors interested in mid-20th century political figures. The book is bound in a sturdy hardcover format, though the dust jacket shows considerable wear, indicative of its age and handling.
