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. 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 relatively small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. 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 and is now collectible. 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 beauty. A very scarce copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. . $20.00
