Naked People

Heinrich Pudor (under the pseudonym of Heinrich Scham)

1998 by Reason Books

Paperback

64 pages

Naked People (Nackende Menschen) was probably the first book on nudism to be published.

Written in Germany during the 1890s, it predates even Richard Ungewitter’s Die Nacktheit. The English translation was published in 1894, and has seemingly been lost. Now, resurrected by Reason Books, Naked People’s renewed availability will place it as an immediate collector’s item, appropriate for any serious library. Naked People itself is aphoristic and poetic, but its pleading for a naked and open lifestyle is both continual and undeniable. This new edition includes informative introduction by Dr. Cec Cinder, an authority on Pudor and the author of Nudist Idea.
