Salomo Friedlaender (1871-1946), Jewish-German writer, publicist and philosopher identified with the Avant-Garde Movement and Dadaism. In 1906, after completing his doctoral studies at the Jena University, he moved to Berlin, where he befriended several of the prominent thinkers and artists of the era: Martin Buber, Else Lasker-Schüler, Gustav Landauer, Erich Mühsam, Alfred Kobin and others. He used to sign his literary publications, which were published for the first time in various Avant-Garde journals, with the pseudonym Mynona (an anagram of "Anonym" – anonymous). In 1919, he cofounded with the writer and publicist Anselm Ruest (the pseudonym of his relative Ernst Samuel) the anarchist journal Der Einzige. Several weeks after the rise of the Nazis to power in 1933, Friedlaender moved to Paris, where he died lonely and penniless in 1946.
Size and condition vary. Good overall condition.
