Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. First US edition and first edition in English. Cloth with dust jacket. Very good copy in fair dust jacket. Delightful introduction by Hendrik Willem Van Loon, who read and indeed savored the book in the original German and urged that it be translated; the introduction is also excerpted extensively on the inside flaps of the jacket. Book very nicely preserved with a color pastedown title label on the spine. Jacket, alas, is chipped at both ends of the spine panel and is missing a triangular chunk at the top of the back panel, which is devoted to other new titles. The chunk removes most of the blurb for the first advertised book. The novel is set in the fictional duchy of Renthe in 1805. Van Loon compares the book to a Mozart minuet. Translated from the German by Phyllis and Trevor Blewitt.…
