Hans Grauert was one of the world's leading mathematicians in the field of Several Complex Variables; he not only shaped the development of this area decisively but was also responsible for some of its most important results. This representative selection of mathematical papers exhibits Grauert's influential research and reflects two decades of excellence. In this edition, each paper has been augmented by a detailed commentary, thus offering a comprehensive survey of the development of this fascinating subject from its beginnings in Münster and Göttingen. Hans Grauert may be regarded as a direct successor of Gauss, holding a chair at Göttingen that before him was held by Siegel, Weyl, Hilbert, Riemann and Gauss. In these 2 volumes of SELECTA of H. GRAUERT, 31 original papers with proofs on the subject of Several Complex Variables are published. The detailed historical comments provide an excellent survey on the development of this fascinating mathematical field.
