"Markings" by Dag Hammarskjöld, published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1964, is a significant work in the realm of philosophical memoirs. Translated from Swedish by Leif Sjöberg and W.H. Auden, who also provides a foreword, this book offers a unique insight into the thoughts and reflections of Dag Hammarskjöld, the former Secretary-General of the United Nations. The text, originally published as "Vägmärken," is a collection of personal reflections that blend philosophical musings with the author's experiences in global diplomacy. This edition, published in New York, is a valuable piece for collectors interested in historical figures or philosophical writings. While the dust jacket is in poor condition with notable tears, the book remains a compelling artifact of Hammarskjöld's legacy.
