Man's Search for Meaning (orig. Ein Psycholog erlebt das Konzentrationslager)

Viktor E. Frankl · Verlag für Jugend und Volk (Vienna) · 1946

The 1946 Vienna original is a wrappered series volume; any cloth-bound copy is a later binding or a different edition. The title "Man's Search for Meaning" was not used at all until 1962, when Beacon Press reissued the English text as "Man's Search for Meaning: An Introduction to Logotherapy," described on its own title page as a newly revised and enlarged edition of From Death-Camp to Existentialism. Every book bearing the title Man's Search for Meaning is therefore later than the 1959 first English, and the ubiquitous paperbacks are "first thus" issues of a text that has been revised and expanded across later editions — not reprints of the 1959 book. No dedicated book-club issue of the 1946 Vienna or 1959 Beacon first is documented in the sources consulted.
