Wrappers. Large 4to. "Shepard Traube (in association with Alexander Cohen) presents Angel Street by Patrick Hamilton" on front cover. Lead players were Victory Jory, Sylvia Sidney, and Ernest Gossart. "Stories about the play, the author, the cast, the producer, illustrated with numerous photographs," also reviews of the original London production. Much of the discussion about Hamilton relates to his being so elusive that he could not be found or interviewed. The best information the producers could receive was that he was serving in the British Army in North Africa, a fact (if accurate) that is not mentioned in Internet sources. Leaflet for another play, "Guest in the House," laid in. The play had a long run on Broadway beginning in 1941.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 292 pages. Published in 2012. The author's fifth novel to be translated into English. Now considered a contemporary classic. 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. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Herta Muller's "Atemschaukel" in a felicitous English translation by Philip Boehm. Life in a concentration camp. It is told in a profoundly personal voice by its 17-year-old protagonist, Leo Auberg, in sixty-four impressionistic chapters. Auberg thereby reminds us of a now-forgotten historical fact: "None of us were part of any war, but because we were Germans, the Russians considered us guilty of Hitler's crimes". In one sentence, he sums up how millions of ethnic Germans living in Eastern Europe were either displaced, killed, or sent to Soviet camps after the Second World War. As always with Muller, the bleakness is made somehow bearable by flashes of wit, irony, and humor. Regarded as a national icon in Germany, "a living Goethe" (rhymes with Herta), Muller was awarded the Nobel Prize on the 20th Anniversary of the Fall of Communism: "The Committee has recognized an author who refuses to let the inhumane side of life under Communism be forgotten". That is a direct rebuke of Milan Kundera's famous (and frivolous) statement that "the condemnation of totalitarianism doesn't deserve a novel". Yes, it does, and in Muller's writing, what being human means in the context of a totalitarian system has a metaphysical lyricism. In his review, the great British writer A. N. Wilson hailed the novel as a "masterpiece of wrenching, Rilkean lyricism", greater than Solzhenitsyn's classic, "One Day In The Life of Ivan Denisovich". An absolute "must-have" title for Herta Muller collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Herta Muller. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Muller made a rare and historic appearance at the 2012 PEN World Voices Festival of International Literature. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of The Kleist Prize, one of the most prestigious prizes given to writers in German, in 1994. Winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award in 1998 for "The Land of Green Plums". Winner of the European Literature Prize in 2006. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2009. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine collectible set.

A NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOK OF THE YEAR NATIONAL BESTSELLER "A thunderous gallop of a war novel, a new classic, a best-in-class example of speculative fiction." The New York Times Book Review The critically acclaimed author of the "crazily enjoyable" (The New York Times) Whalefall returns with an immersive, cinematic novel about five World War I soldiers who stumble upon a fallen angel that could hold the key to ending the war. Private Cyril Bagger has managed to survive the unspeakable horrors of the Great War through his wits and deception, swindling fellow soldiers at every opportunity. But his survival instincts are put to the ultimate test when he and four other grunts are given a deadly mission: venture into the perilous No Man's Land to euthanize a wounded comrade. What they find amid the ruined battlefield, however, is not a man in need of mercy but a fallen angel, seemingly struck down by artillery fire. This celestial being may hold the key to ending the brutal conflict, but only if the soldiers can suppress their individual desires and work together. As jealousy, greed, and paranoia take hold, the group is torn apart by their inner demons, threatening to turn their angelic encounter into a descent into hell. Angel Down plunges you into the heart of World War I and weaves a polyphonic tale of survival, supernatural wonder, and moral conflict. Signed by Author(s).

A small group of papers, 4to & 8vo, relating to the investigation of charges against seven German prisoners of war accused in the death of another prisoner at the Prisoner of War Camp Papago Park in Phoenix, Arizona on March 12, 1944. The papers include 4 sheets, partly printed, completed in typescript and ink; plus two carbon copy pages, rectos only, of typed arguments from the defense and prosecution. The defense argument begins in mid-sentence, and is therefore incomplete. The first sheet, the Officer's Report, (2) pp. on an A.G.O. Form No. 120, states the nature of the general investigation and is directed to the Commanding Officer of the Prisoner of War Processing Station on Angel Island. It is signed in type by 1st. Lt. Harry A. Baldwin, JAGD, and recommends trial by General Court-Martial. The second sheet, (1) p., records the names of the accused, and the specification and charge of "guilty" for each man. The third and fourth sheets, (2) pp., give the sentences, each man to be "hanged by the neck until dead." In the partial record of the defense's statement for clemency, mention is made of statements "obtained by duress or coercion," with the use of tactics including "the use of a Gas Mask with an onion placed within it, and the use of an overcoat." Defense pleaded that the prisoners knew their victim, Werner Drechsler, was an informant and believed him to be a traitor supplying information to "a country with which [their] country was at war." They were moved to murder him in much the same way as a group of American POWs might defend themselves against a traitor in their midst. The prosecutor's response in rebuttal asked for sympathy for the victim. Clearly that argument prevailed. In Jane Eppinga's book on this court martial, "Death at Papago Park POW Camp: A Tragic Murder and America's Last Mass Execution, [Arcadia Pub.: 2017], she details the events leading up to Drechsler's hanging by his fellow U-boat crewmen. Drechsler had been collaborating with US Navy authorities since his capture in 1943, spying on his fellow prisoners at a POW Camp near Fort Meade in Maryland. When he was transferred to Papago Park, where he was known, the US military failed to protect him and he was dead within seven hours of arrival. On August 25, 1945, all seven men, Helmut Fischer, Fritz Franke, Guenther Kuelsen, Heinrich Ludwig, Bernhard Reyak, Otto Stengel, and Rolf Wizuy, were hanged at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

With a preliminary blank leaf.'John Wilkins (16141672), theologian and natural philosopher. '. His first published religious work, Ecclesiastes (1646), was subtitled A Discourse Concerning the Gift of Preaching, and was intended as a handbook for preachers . Showing the influence of Senecan Stoicism, Wilkins advocated patient submissiveness to Providence in times of suffering. A discourse concerning the gift of prayer: shewing what it is, wherein it consists and how far it is attainable by industry (1651), like the earlier Ecclesiastes, was intended as an advice manual to aid in the organization of thoughts and in effective communication between man and God. These three religious works proved highly influential in the contemporary shift to a plainer, clearer, and more simply ordered style in sermons and other forms of writing. US$479.
