Collection of short stories. 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. A German master regarded by his admirers to be the equal of his contemporaries, Gunter Grass and Heinrich Boll, but possessing his own distinctive, droll and inimitable voice. A "must-have" title for Jakov Lind collectors. This title has been out-of-print for a very long time. It was not widely distributed and is now increasingly 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 greatest writers of the 20th century. A very good copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JAKOV LIND TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). $20.00
