Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 320 pages. Published in 2016. The author's breakthrough novel, and masterpiece. One of the greatest novels of the 20th century. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United Kingdom. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the American Edition, which was published one year later. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents, in its First Edition format, Gerard Reve's "De Avonden" in a felicitous and acclaimed translation by Sam Garrett. Better (very) late than never: First published in 1947, during the bleak postwar years, or about seventy years ago (as of 2016 release date), here, at long last, the masterwork that the Dutch have been telling us about. "Twenty-three-year-old Frits - office worker, daydreamer, teller of inappropriate jokes - finds life absurd and inexplicable. He lives with his parents, who drive him mad. He has terrible, disturbing dreams of death and destruction. Sometimes, he talks to a toy rabbit. This is the story of ten evenings in Frits' life at the end of December, as he drinks, smokes, sees friends, aimlessly wanders the gloomy city street, and tries to make sense of the minutes, hours, and days that stretch before him. Takes the tiny, quotidian triumphs and heartbreaks of our everyday lives and turns them into a work of profound beauty" (Publisher's blurb). Complements, even expands upon - but does not surpass - the somewhat brighter, wittier, and heartbreakingly beautiful "Amsterdam Stories" of Nescio, the Dutch Master who likewise proposed that the only substantial and appropriate response to modern life is dedicated non-conformism, as a vocation in and of itself. An absolute "must-have" title for Gerard Reve collectors. This title is a great book. It comes with a fine copy of Gerard Reve's "Childhood: Two Novellas" as a bonus and necessary supplement. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (British) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Precedes and should NOT be confused with the American Edition, which was published one year later. A rare copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine collectible set. ISBN 1782271783. no.…
