Prague: Julius Albert and Cyklus Jalny, 1947. Octavo (20.3 × 14 cm). Original brochure with original pictorial dust jacket by Franti?ek Muzika; 346, [2] pp. Gatherings uncut, unopened and partially unbound as issued; wrappers with tiny edge tear and somewhat dust-soiled; else good. Third Czech edition of the novel by the Canadian writer. Although less well-known than Teige, ?tyrský, and Sutnar, Muzika (1900?1974) was a key representative of the Czech avant-garde and a founding member of Dev?tsil. Active in a wide range of media and other endeavors, including painting, graphic design, set design, illustration, directing, and teaching, Muzika also created a range of experimental book covers beginning in the late 1920s. He served as art director of the publishing house "Aventinum," adding his own covers which "in their simplicity and use of white space (.) represent a distinct step beyond the rich poetist cover" (Jind?ich Toman, Photo/Montage in Print, p. 197).As of November 2023, OCLC lists four copies in North America.
