Octavo, pp. [1-8] 1-4 [5-6] 7-195 [196: blank] [197-198: ads] [199-203: blank] [204], pictorial endpapers, cover art by Rockwell Kent, pictorial wrappers. Translation of DER MEISTER DES JUENGSTEN TAGES (1923). "Excellent sf and detective story dealing with hallucinogens." - Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction, p. 403. "Cleverly handled. The atmosphere of decadent pre-World War I Vienna is admirably handled, as is the psychopathology." - Bleiler, Science-Fiction: The Early Years 1770. Leo Perutz was "undoubtedly the finest fantasy author of his time, a storyteller of rare powers with an unfailing ear for language, sharp observation, and economical yet plastic style. Perutz was able to describe life in all its concrete fullness, in vivid colorful detail, and to tell his stories in a naturally dramatic narrative that progresses with the inevitability of a Greek tragedy. Above all, his stories are well-constructed and persuasive." - Survey of Modern Fantasy Literature V, pp. 2407-08. [Reference: Bleiler (1978), p. 157. Reginald 11388. Barzun and Taylor, A Catalogue of Crime 1699. Hubin (1994), p. 640. See Bloch (2002) 2394]. Mild darkening to text block, light edge rubbing, blindstamp to front cover, spine age darkened with reading crease, a very good copy. (30885).
