Handke, Peter (Translated by Ralph Manheim) . A MOMENT OF TRUE FEELING. New York City, NY: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1977. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 133 pages. Fine/Fine.

The author's fourth book to be translated into English. One of Peter Handke's finest achievements, It is now considered a contemporary classic. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. A key work by one of the most controversial and interesting writers to emerge in Europe since the devastation of the Second World War, about which Handke is vocal, articulate, and in some crucial respects, unapologetic. A "must-have" title for Peter Handke collectors. This title has been out-of-print as a hardcover for more than thirty years and is now highly collectible. This is one of few copies of the First American Edition still available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. Most copies available online have major flaws. A very scarce copy thus. One of the most important and influential living writers. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PETER HANDKE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0374172919. $70.00
