Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. SWASTIKA NIGHT takes place seven hundred years after Nazism achieved power, by which time Adolf Hitler is worshipped as a god. Elsewhere, the Japanese rule the Americas, Australia, and Asia. Though Japan is the only rival superpower to the Nazi West, their inevitable wars always end in stalemate. The fascist Germans and Japanese suffer much difficulty in maintaining their populations, because of the physical degeneration of their women. The protagonist is an Englishman named Alfred on a German pilgrimage. In Europe, the English are loathed because they were the last opponents of Nazi Germany in the war. Per official history, Hitler is a tall, blond god who personally won the war. Alfred is astounded when shown a secret, historic photograph depicting Hitler and a girl before a crowd. He is shocked that Hitler was a small man with dark hair and a paunch. And his discovery may mean his death. A classic of feminist predictive fiction finally returns to the light. 700 years after Hitler personally won the war, one man discovers the truth about his god. This remarkably prescient novel of the future under Nazism was published in 1937. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condición: Good+. 196pp Interesting feminist novel set in future fascist dystopia. Often compared to 1984. Only two faults are is a small round grease mark (or trace of a sticker?) to cover, and the free front endpape ris missing together with a thin layer of part of the paste down. The text is very clean.

8vo, pp. 196. Original red boards, spine and front board lettered in black. Poor-quality paper lightly toned. Boards a touch marked, spine discoloured and a little worn at ends. Ownership inscription of E. Benson, Leeds to rear pastedown dated Aug. 1940, ink inscription to front pastedown ?donated by Ernie Benson 1986? The Left Book Club edition of an important feminist dystopia, first published in 1937. Set 700 years after a Hitler victory in World War II when women have no rights or status save as childbearers, it anticipated both alternate history fiction about the war and the war itself, with this, second edition containing a publisher?s note outlining the author?s changes of opinion on the corruptive power of Nazism. Following this edition the novel was not republished until the Feminist Press edition of 1985, when the authorship of Katharine Burdekin (1896-1963) was established and its status has continued to grow since then - Darragh McManus wrote in The Guardian in 2009 that ?Swastika Night can be seen as a companion piece to Nineteen Eighty-Four, exploring the other side of the totalitarian coin with equal insight, prescience and humanity.? This copy belonged to Communist organiser and bookshop proprietor Ernie Benson, author of the 2-volume autobiography ?To Struggle is to Live?.

First edition. Octavo, pp. [1-4] 5-287 [288], original blue cloth, spine stamped in dark blue. Important proto-feminist scientific romance. Burdekin's "best known novel examines a Nazi-dominated Europe 500 years hence through the eyes of the young German protagonist, who begins to understand that something is perhaps awry in a world where women are breeding-animals and Hitler is deified . a writer of considerable interest. Her work is at times surreptitiously couched, and her message is too often found embedded in romance-fiction plotting, but Burdekin can now be seen as a figure of contemporary interest." - Clute and Nicholls (eds), The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1993), p. 175.
