Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 270 pages. Published in 2021. The definitive version of the author's debut novel, first published in 1938. The single most valuable literary re-discovery of our time. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States.… Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out upon publication. The First Edition is now rare. Re-presents, in its restored version, Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz's "Der Reisende" in the definitive English translation by Philip Boehm. Prefaced by Andre Aciman. The novel that anticipated Nazi Germany in all its nightmarish, diabolical reality. Even more important, it mirrors the harrowing personal journey of the ill-fated author himself, whose unwavering faith in his book - if not necessarily in fate and life - is marked not just by a spiritual dimension, but by the spiritual commitment and urgency that characterize all great art. "November 1938: Jewish shops have been ransacked and looted, synagogues destroyed. As storm troopers pound on his door, Otto Silbermann, a respected businessman who fought for Germany in The Great War, is forced to sneak out the back of his own home. Turned away from establishments he had long patronized, and fearful of being exposed as a Jew despite his Aryan looks, he boards a train. And then another. And another. Until his flight becomes a frantic odyssey across Germany, as he searches first for information, then for help, and finally for escape. As his world collapses around him, he is forced to concede that his nightmare is all too real. Twenty-three-year-old Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz wrote 'The Passenger' at breakneck speed in 1938, fresh in the wake of the Kristallnacht, and his prose flies at the same pace" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz collectors. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: ALL other copies available online are in innumerable subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the most prescient - and greatest - writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. ISBN 1250317142. no.
