20 x 15 cm. 391 pages. Original red cloth binding with spine and cover labels. First edition. Edited from the estate of Max Brod, with an afterword. After "The Trial" and "The Castle," "America" concludes the so-called Trilogy of Loneliness. "Take banks, for example. And when they have grown so large, so large that they overshadow an entire country, then the country is called America. And now let's take a look at a book about America that isn't really a book at all, and yet is one. It is something absolutely wonderful; in terms of inner music and the pianissimo of its tones, it can only be compared to Hamsum," quoted from Kurt Tucholsky. Very fine copy. - Wilpert/Gühring 2/10. - Raabe 146/10.
