Présentation de l'éditeur
By Milo Hastings. i A tale of the future, enriched with rare satire upon the world of to-day. In its powers of imaginative invention it rivals the best work of H. G. Wells. The City of Endless Night is a roofed-in and armored Berlin wherein the Germans, after the Second World War, have been isolated by the democratic World State. Into this stronghold of autocratic socialism, an American chemist penetrates and passes off as one of the supermen. Ranking as an intellectual, he finds his place between the seventeen thousand descendants of William the Great and the Blond Labor Brutes, who scorn to work for wages and strike for longer hours. The author succeeds also in interweaving a very genuine love story, an achievement rare in tales of the future. The City of Endless Night should gain for its author a distinctive place both as a satirist and as a master of imaginative invention.

Présentation de l'éditeur
When but a child of seven my uncle placed me in a private school in which one of the so-called redeemed sub-sailors was a teacher of the German language. As I look back now, in the light of my present knowledge, I better comprehend the docile humility and carefully nurtured ignorance of this man.

Octavo, cloth. Later edition. Text offset from that of the 1920 Dodd, Mead edition. New introduction by Sam Moskowitz. A dystopian tale of the future set in the twenty-second century, a hundred years after Germany has been defeated but not conquered during World War II. Under siege in the huge, fortified, largely subterranean city of Berlin, where a careful eugenics program breeds different classes to continue the war against the world community, the Germans repel attacks by the "World State" with a destructive but limited range ray which annihilates those who attempt to penetrate the city. "The strongest part of the book . is the author's detailed extrapolation of German culture on the basis of his own day, and his good understanding of political underground movements. The concepts are those of the Nazi state of the 1930s, even to the ravings about racial purity and superior races." - Bleiler, Science-Fiction: The Early Years 1061. The author's obsessions with physical fitness and eugenics tie in with his editorial association with Bernarr McFadden, editor of the magazine, PHYSICAL CULTURE (which also published a good deal of science fiction, including a piece by Hastings). Anatomy of Wonder (1976) 2-91 and (2004) II-504. Bleiler, Science-Fiction: The Early Years 1061. Clareson, Science Fiction in America, 1870s-1930s 405. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 107. Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985, p. 164. In 333. Bleiler (1978), p. 95. Reginald 06902. A fine copy without dust jacket as issued. A presentation copy with signed inscription by Moskowitz to "Gerry" [de la Ree] on the title page. (#176802). N° de réf. du vendeur 176802
