Hardcover. Condition: New. New condition light blue cloth boards with white front cover, rear cover, and spine lettering and illustrations. Includes Abbreviations; INtroduction; Chronology of Thackeray's Life and Works; Select Reading List; A Note on the Text; Notes; Appendix: Parody; and Textual Variants. Also includes a bound-into-the-volume matching satin ribbon page marker. "Vanity Fair has strong claims to be the greatest novel in the English language. It is also the only English novel that, in scope and theme, challenges comparison with Tolstoy's War and Peace. Vanity Fair is a landmark in the development of European realism, and a reaction against the ostentation and hero-worship of high romanticism. It may be that without the inspiration of Thackeray's novel Tolstoy would not have written his own realistic masterpiece (War and Peace)." - short excerpt from the Introduction.

In the house at 55 Jablonski Strasse, the various occupants are all trying to live under Nazi rule in their own different ways: the nervous Frau Rosenthal, the bullying Hitler-loyalists the Persickes, the retired judge Fromm, and the unassuming working-class couple Otto and Anna Quangel. Then the Quangels receive the devastating news that their beloved son has been killed fighting in France. ***Shocked out of his quiet existence, the usually taciturn factory foreman Otto is provoked into an action that will endanger his life. With his wife's help, he begins to drop hundreds of anonymous postcards attacking Hitler in buildings all over the city. If Otto and Anna are caught, they will be executed for treason. ***As the couple's silent campaign escalates, the cards come to the attention of the ambitious Gestapo inspector Escherich, and a deadly game of cat-and-mouse develops between them. When the petty criminals Kluge and Borkhausen become involved, blackmail, deception, betrayal and murder ensue, gradually tightening the noose around the Quangels' necks.' ***'Hans Fallada's gripping and haunting novel was first published in German in 1947. It is both a dark, fast-paced wartime thriller and a chilling portrayal of a paranoid, brutal society, where the smallest action can have fatal consequences, and love has to survive against the cruellest of odds. Michael Hofmann's powerful new translation brings this extraordinary masterpiece to English readers for the very first time.' ***'The greatest book ever written about the German resistance to the Nazis' - Primo Levi ***'"Alone in Berlin" is one of the most extraordinary and compelling novels ever written about World War II. Ever. Please, do not miss this.' ***'An unrivalled and vivid portrait of life in wartime Berlin.' (Quotes and review quotes taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'Hans Fallada was one of the best-known German writers of the twentieth century. Born in 1893 in Greifswald, north-east Germany, as Rudolf Wilhelm Adolf Ditzen, he took his pen-name from a Brothers Grimm fairytale. His most famous works include the novels "Little Man, What Now?" and "The Drinker". Fallada died in 1947 in Berlin.' ***'Michael Hofmann is the author of several books of poems, a book of criticism, "Behind the Lines", and the translator of many modern and contemporary authors, including Joseph Roth.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First UK Edition. First impression of the first UK edition, with a complete number string including the no. "1" on the printer's page. The book was published simultaneously in the US by Grove Press. ***Fine in black cloth-covered boards with white titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases.

Spine tight. ***In a fine colour printed dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £20.00. No chips or tears. No creases. No fading. Dustwrapper fine, crisp and bright. ***214 pages. 224 mm x 144 mm. ***In 1944, Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs were taken into police custody following a murder. One of their friends, Lucien Carr, had stabbed another, David Kammerer, whose sexual advances he'd seemingly grown tired of rejecting. Carr, still in bloodstained clothes, had come to each of them and confessed: Kerouac helped him get rid of the weapon - neither told the police. For this failing they were arrested. ***Months later the two writers - unpublished at the time - collaborated on 'And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks', a fictionalized account of the week leading up to the killing. They wrote alternating chapters - Burroughs writing as sometime bartender and workaday detective Will Dennison, Kerouac as Mike Ryko, a merchant seaman. ***From this intensely personal material they made a hardboiled account of a group of friends moving through each other's apartments, killing time drinking, necking, talking and taking drugs, and haphazardly drifting towards a bloody crime - flabby, likeable Ramsey Allen trailing after the beautiful Phillip Tourain, constantly angering him with his endless desire to please. Unpublished until now, this is a kind of crime novel of humans stewing in their inactivity, and a remarkable insight into the lives and literary development of two great writers.' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***First impression of the first UK edition, in fine bright collectable condition - a pristine copy and harder to find than the US edition. Of interest to collectors of William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac and The Beats first edition titles. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
