Schneider, Peter (Translated by Leigh Hafrey).
THE WALL JUMPER.
New York City, NY: Pantheon, 1983. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 139 pages. Fine/Fine. The author's first work to be translated in English. Now widely considered a late-modern classic. The first appearance of the title in English. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. "This completely frank, thought-provoking, and often wryly humorous account of life in Berlin before the fall of the Wall will go straight to your heart with its fascinating stories and tales from both sides of the once Divided City. With poignancy and warmth, the author creates believable characters who adhere to their own truths, not necessarily the expectations of the reader" (Library Journal). A "must-have" title for Peter Schneider collectors. This title has been out-of-print as a hardcover for a very long time. Copies are now quite difficult to find. This is one of few copies of the First English-language Edition still available online and is in very good condition overall. A very scarce copy thus. One of the finest living German writers. A very good copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PETER SCHNEIDER TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0394529286. $25.00 |
