A propos de cet article

1st Printing. 170 pages. Published in 1975. The author's second book. Widely regarded together with "Hourglass" as his masterpiece. In fact, it is one of THREE consecutive masterpieces by Danilo Kis. The first appearance of the title in English and the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. The DJ design by the great New Yorker Magazine graphic artist Seymour Chwast is outstanding. Presents Danilo Kis' "Basta, pepeo" in a felicitous English translation. Hiding as internal exile, finding refuge as temporary, as one approaches and faces the inevitability of arrest, disappearance, and ultimately, death. "In Yugoslavia during the Second World War, young Andi Scham and his beleaguered family are constantly moving, searching for refuge. Yet the physical hardships of the world do not intrude on Andi's adolescent world of vivid observation and imaginative withdrawals. From his memories emerges the wondrous story of his father, Eduard Scham - the Wandering Jew, Don Quixote, red-eyed, crazed, drunk, bellicose, a man who recedes from life and then disappears in the Holocaust. Andi's search for his father is a poetic, lyrical remembrance of things past. Danilo Kis has blended bits of realism, snatches of dreams, and echoes of his own consciousness as a child to shape this magical and memorable novel" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Danilo Kis collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws or are in subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DANILO KIS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0151342873.…
