Sakheim, Arthur. Marion in red. Roman typoscript (Breakthrough copy) with numerous correction proposals, deletions, new and rewordings and comments. 1 Bl., 84 printed on one side 28.5 x 21.5 cm. HPergament d. C. (something toasted and rubbed). O. O. 1913. Kosch XIII, 705. – In 1913 Georg Müller Verlag in Munich published the "small novel" (so the subtitle) "Marion in Red" by Arthur Sakheim, born in Libau in 1884 (now Liepaja, Latvia). After attending school in his hometown, Sakheim studied history, philosophy and linguistics at the Humboldt University in Berlin, then moved to study at the Sorbonne, where he obtained his doctorate in 1908 with a dissertation on E. T. A. Hoffmann at the University of Zurich. Sakheim then lived in Hamburg, was a journalist and wrote for the theatre. He was also a dramaturge at the Hamburger Kammerspiele. Through his work, Sakheim made the acquaintance of journalists Emil Faktor and Egon Erwin Kisch. After the First World War, Sakheim was editor of the magazine "Blätter der Städtischen Bühnen" in Frankfurt am Main. From there he came to the Frankfurt Schauspielhaus in 1926 as the director of the game. In the summer of 1931 he was released without notice by the director of the Schauspielhaus because of his "unGerman" schedule. In the same year, Sakheim fell ill with appendicitis during a summer vacation on Hiddensee and died soon after the operation. ==References====External links== The present typescript (a copy of the original typoscript in violet print) bears on the title the personal dedication of Sakheim: "The first version of the book 'Marion' I put into the hands of Paula Pierstorff, who donated me sweetest bliss and advised my holy craft. A. S. Dated is the dedication with "27th October 1913". Apparently Sakheim gave her, his beloved, this first version of the novel for correction, and she took over the task with great verve and considerable language feeling: numerous comments on text passages ("this = is abominable stillos", "non-useful", "boring", "terrible", "horrible" etc.), deletions, stylistic improvements and rewordings made the text a The novel, which was well received by the critics, reveals several accompanying reviews. Unfortunately, nothing is known about Paula Pierstorff, an online search did nothing. Whether it can be associated with the well-known Jena national economist Julius Pierstorff remains pure speculation. Two of Sakheim's own poems, which are also included in the volume, support the assumption that Pierstorff connected him with a liaison: Under the title "The blonde princess" you will find the line "I love these cool royal mies, I love your impetuous loins" and a sonnet ends with "I Love You Infinitely." Sakheim's estate no longer exists. This typescript is therefore one of the few writings he has handed down. And it is another strong proof of the well-known fact that there are unknowns behind many poets, writers and authors who make their work possible, accompany them and improve with their first review. – A little flaky.
