Boll, Heinrich (Translated by Richard Graves).
ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT.
New York City, NY:
Henry Holt And Company,
1954.
Hardcover.
First Edition/First Printing.
200 pages.
Very Good+/Very Good+.
Several tears along the top of DJ.
The author's first book to be published in English. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other susbequent editions. There is a lengthy autobiographical note by Boll on the back of DJ. A lovely, affecting gesture from a writer rarely done since and much preferable to the standard publisher's blurb. A "must-have" title for Heinrich Boll collectors. This title has been out-of-print for a very long time. It was not widely distributed and is now very difficult to find. This is one of very few copies of the First English-language Edition still available online and is in very good condition overall. A very scarce copy thus. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A very good copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER HEINRICH BOLL TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). $30.00
