Zwerenz, Gerhard (Translated by William Whitman).
LITTLE PETER IN WAR AND PEACE.
New York City, NY: Grove Press, 1970. Ephemera. First Edition/First Printing. 339 pages. Fine/Fine. The finest and only novel by the author to be translated into English. Published in a relatively small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. The first appearance of the title in English. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Throughout the book, the morality of life-giving sex and love ("Peace") is shown to be in opposition to the obscenity of politics and violence ("War"). Belongs with the best of post-war German fiction and although less well-known, enjoys a loyal readership. A "must-have" title for collectors of modern German literature. This title has been out-of-print as a hardcover for a long time. This is one of few copies of the First English-language Edition still available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A very scarce copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. . $30.00 |
