First edition. Octavo. 216 pages. Wrappers. Plates including reproductions of paintings by Piet Mondrian, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse etc; photographs by L. Moholy-Nagy, Francis Bruguiere, Henri Cartier-Bresson etc. Cover design by Joan Miró. Contains the first part of Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis. (In the list of contributors it is… said of Kafka that he ''died in 1936 at the age of 30''. A strange editorial oversight considering that Eugene Jolas is himself here the translator of Metamorphosis.) Other contributors include Dylan Thomas ("Poem" and "The Mouse and the Woman"), Norman McCaig (two poems) etc. A very bright copy, near fine.

FIRST EDITION, plates showing monochrome reproductions of work by Mondrian, Klee, Brancusi, Matisse, et al., subscription slip tipped in at rear, pp. 216, crown 8vo, original wrappers with Miró design to front printed in blue and black, a little soiled overall with some creasing at corners, light reading creases to spine, very g…ood. Notable for featuring the first instalment of Jolas's translation of Franz Kafka's 'Metamorphosis' - the story's first appearance in English, preceding Lloyd whose translation was published in book-form by the Parton Press the following year (by which time Jolas's had not been fully serialised). Dylan Thomas and Denis Devlin are among the other literary contributors.
