The previous owner has added a ribbon bookmark to the inner spine of the book. "The 1999 book My Century (Mein Jahrhundert) was an overview of the 20th-century's many brutal historic events, conveyed in short pieces, a mosaic of expression. In 2002, Grass returned to the forefront of world literature with Crabwalk (Im Krebsgang). This novella, one of whose main characters first appeared in Cat and Mouse, was Grass's most successful work in decades. It dealt with the events of a refugee ship, full of thousands of Germans, being sunk by a Russian submarine, killing most on board. It was one of a number of works since the late 20th century that have explored the victimization of Germans in World War II. " (from Wikipedia).

EARLY SORROWS: FOR CHILDREN AND SENSITIVE READERS - Scarce Pristine Copy of The First Hardcover Edition/First Printing
Language: English
Published by New York City, NY: New Directions, 1998, 1998
ISBN 10: 0811213900 ISBN 13: 9780811213905
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 118 pages. Published in 1998. The author's collection of early short fiction. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Danilo Kis' "Rani jadi, za decu (i) osetljive" in a brilliant English translation by Michael Henry Heim. His highly original sequence of linked stories about his excruciating and acute childhood (early sorrows, yes; for children, probably not). "With a remarkable combination of affection, whimsy, and wretchedness, these nineteen lyrical stories tell a recurring tale of spiritual innocence tainted by shame and the terror of life in hiding. In addition to his finesse with language and sensory detail, Kis succeeds at rendering a precocious child's struggle to comprehend the world. In each brief vignette, the boy contemplates his own disappearance and death, which he sees foreshadowed in his father's deportation to Auschwitz. Will touch vestigial nerves in most readers" (Publisher's blurb). Danilo Kis' father hovers over the horrors of Nazi Germany. He did everything he could to protect his son. In the process, the Nazis caught on, captured him, and sent him to Auschwitz, to his death. An absolute "must-have" title for Danilo Kis collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DANILO KIS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0811213900. no.
