Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 122 pages. Published in 2025. The author's second novel. By critical consensus, Markus Werner's masterpiece. Presented in its very first English translation as a "New York Review of Books Classics Original". Advance Uncorrected Proof. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular trade edition. Published in a tiny one-time-only print run as a softcover original only for the exclusive use of the publisher and editor. The Uncorrected Proof has the same ISBN as the trade edition. It is now rare. Presents, in its earliest-printing format ever, Markus Werner's "Froschnacht" in the definitive English translation by Michael Hofmann, one of the most brilliant translators of European literature of our time. Some of the most beautiful sentences ever written in contemporary German literature, now just as beautifully rendered in English. "This cult classic of Swiss literature is impossible to forget. In a small town in Switzerland, Franz - ex-clergyman, ex-husband, current counselor of locals - is being haunted by his recently deceased father, Klement. In life, Franz was caught cheating on his wife and defrocked, after which Klement never spoke to him again. In death, Klement visits his son in the form of a frog in the throat, choking him, but also giving voice to an old dairy farmer devoted to the old ways, forever railing against his son and the whole modern mess he represents" (Publisher's blurb). "I sit around, I drink, I brood, I pat myself down for flaws, find many, and each evening I say: Starting tomorrow I'm going to get a grip on myself" (Markus Werner). An absolute "must-have" title for Markus Werner collectors. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Advance Uncorrected Proof of the First Edition/First Printing available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: ALL other copies available online are subsequent printings of the regular trade edition. A rare copy thus. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 1681379120. no.…
