Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 340 pages. Published in 2001. The author's ninth book to be translated into English. One of Cees Nooteboom's finest achievements. 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. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents "Allerzielen" in its definitive English translation. "Evocative and philosophical, poetic and passionate. A Dutch documentary filmmaker finds himself in Berlin at the end of the twentieth century, trying to make sense of his own past in a city where every stone bears traces of history. Having lost his wife and child in an airplane crash, he is still coming to terms with the grief, trying to build a new life amid a group of cosmopolitan, splendidly eccentric friends. As he walks the streets of a recently reunified Berlin city, shooting scenes for a film with as yet vague shape, Daane seeks to make a coherent picture of fragments of memory and history. When by chance he meets a mysterious young Dutch-Berber woman named Elik, these rather abstract questions suddenly take on far more concrete shape, and soon Daane follows Elik to Madrid and the novel's stunning denouement. Both a love story and a reflection on the way history affects our lives in mysterious ways" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Cees Nooteboom collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Cees Nooteboom. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Nooteboom made a rare appearance in New York City, in 2001, to launch the book, during which event his elusive signature was obtained. This title is a great book. This is one of few such signed 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, are in subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. The worthy heir to Nescio and comparable to his coeval, the late great Gerard Reve, Cees Nooteboom is regarded as the most important Dutch writer of our time by the late Mary McCarthy, A. S. Byatt, and Hilary Mantel. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER CEES NOOTEBOOM AND GERARD REVE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0151005664. Signed by Author.
