Description:
Chatto & Windus, London, 1934. Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. The first English-language edition. 8vo. 295pp. Brown cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with a small gilt decoration. Cloth a little spotted and with just a trace of wear to several extremities. A touch of spotting to the endpapers and browning to a blank preliminary and concluding leaf, and the publisher's top edge stain just a little patchy. Really quite a nice, crisp copy, lacking the uncommon dust wrapper. The basis for John Huston's magnificent Bogart movie, this Creighton translation precedes Traven's own translation which he produced for the American issue (Knopf, 1935 - the author is on record stating his preference for this version)..

Description:
Australia: Allen & Unwin, 1982. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. The unclipped jacket has been placed in a plastic sleeve early in its life and appears nigh on perfect - Fine/Near Fine. The book itself is also immaculate except for the one glaring fault of a slightly greater than 5cm x 3cm corner clipped from the top right corner of the title page. There is a faint dustiness to the top edge. Even so, this is a very nice copy of the first edition of the author's first published work, and a keystone of modern Australian literature..

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
