Description: AMERIKA Franz Kafka's nearly-completed novel of a young German immigrant's adventures in America -- a land of which Kafka knew very little but imagined vividly. The book was written between 1911 and 1914, first published posthumously in 1927, first translated into English in 1938. This copy is from the first printing of the first American edition, issued by New Directions in 1940. The book lacks a jacket but otherwise remains in quite good condition. The covers show some general age and handling, no major defects; the binding is a little soft but still sound; the text is somewhat toned with age, otherwise in fine shape. In all, an above average copy of an uncommon collector's item. Measures 5.75" X 8.5", xviii + 299 pages; 16 illustrations by Emlen Etting. The text includes an introduction by Klaus Mann and afterword by Max Brod. Ships promptly & securely.
