Cela, Camila Jose (Translated by Patricia Haugaard).
MAZURKA FOR TWO DEAD MEN.
London, England: Quartet Books, 1993. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 312 pages. As New/As New. The author's novel. Now considered a late-modern classic. The first appearance of the title in English. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Presented in a fresh and brilliant translation by Patricia Haugaard. A splendid production by Quartet Books: Brilliant DJ, which is different from the one used in the American Edition and vastly superior to it. Represents the culmination of the great writer's literary art. The author is best-known for his other masterpiece, "The Hive", which is required reading for students in Spain and should be read by every serious Modern First reader/collector as well. This title has been out-of-print for a very long time. This is one of few copies of the First English-language Edition still available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A scarce copy thus. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1989. Regarded by Harold Bloom as one of the canonical writers of the 20th century. A flawless copy.
