Author: RECK-MALLECZEWEN, Fritz
Title: Sven Discovers Paradise
Publication: New York: Horace Liveright, 1929.
Edition: First English Language Edition
Description: First English Language Edition. Hardcover. Octavo, 336pp. A good or better copy in the publisher's purple cloth. Spine cocked, some darkening to spine ends, and faint evidence of an old dampstain on the rear board. In the scarce dust jacket, good only, with $2.50 price intact, but chipped along the extremities, rather more so on the spine. Commensurate dampstain evidence on the rear panel of the jacket. Rather worn, but likely unread, as it's rather crisp, with a few unopened pages. Reck-Malleczewen was a prominent anti-Nazi author of German extraction who sadly paid for his views at Dachau, where he died in 1945. Good + / good.
