Hardback. Zustand: Good. The hardcover publication of How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone launched Stanisic as an exciting and important new voice in literary fiction and earned exuberant praise from readers and critics alike. Now in paperback, Stanisic's debut about a boy who experiences the Bosnian War and finds the secret to survival in language and stories is bound to dazzle a whole new readership.For Aleksandar Krsmanovic, Grandpa Slavko's stories endow life in Visegrad with a kaleidoscopic brilliance. Neighbors, friends, and family past and present take on a mythic quality; the River Drina courses through town like the pulse of life itself. So when his grandfather dies suddenly, Aleksandar promises to carry on the tradition. But then soldiers invade Visegrad&#8212a town previously unconscious of racial and religious divides&#8212and it's no longer important that Aleksandar is the best magician in the nonaligned states; suddenly it is important to have the right last name and to convince the soldiers that Asija, the Muslim girl who turns up in his apartment building, is his sister.Alive with the magic of childhood, the surreality of war and exile, and the power of language, every page of this glittering novel thrums with the joy of storytelling.…

hardcover. Zustand: Very Good in Dustjacket. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 2008. Grove Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780802118660. Translated from the German by Anthea Bell. 347 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Roland Eschlback using photographs of Mereditheuer & Jan Stromme. keywords: Europe Bosnia Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Heralded as a 'sorcerer of narrative' (Foreign Policy) with an instinct for 'poetic and intoxicating language' (Freie Presse), twenty-nine-year-old Sasa Stanisic bounded onto the international literary scene to great fanfare and acclaim. HOW THE SOLDIER REPAIRS THE GRAMOPHONE - the tale of a boy who experiences the war in Bosnia and finds the secret to survival in language and stories - was the only debut novel to be short-listed for the top literary prize when it was published in Germany, and indeed every page of this glittering, exuberant tale thrums with the joy of storytelling. For young Aleksandar Krsmanovic, his grandfather Slavko's credo - 'the most valuable gift of all is invention, imagination is your greatest wealth' - endows life in Visegrad with a kaleidoscopic brilliance. Neighbors, friends, and family past and present take on a mythic quality; even the River Drina courses through town like the pulse of life itself. So when his grandfather dies suddenly - just as Carl Lewis races to the finish line on their television screen - Aleks calls on this gift of storytelling to see him through his loss and grief. It is a gift he will have to call on again when soldiers transform Visegrad - a town previously unconscious of racial and religious divides - into a nightmarish landscape of terror and violence. Though Aleks and his family survive by fleeing to Germany, he is haunted by his past, and especially by Asija, the mysterious girl he tried to save. Desperate to learn of her fate, he sends manic, anguished letters out into the abyss, once again turning to language to conjure all that he's had to forfeit - his homeland, his mother tongue, his innocence. Beneath the infectious vibrancy of Stanisic's voice is a sweetness and pathos that will haunt the reader long after the book ends. Powerful, vivid, funny, and devastating, HOW THE SOLDIER REPAIRS THE GRAMOPHONE captures the catastrophe of war through a child's eyes and shows how words have the ability to mend what is broken and resurrect what is lost. inventory #19156.…

hardcover. Zustand: New. In shrink wrap. Looks like an interesting title.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 345 pages. Published in 2008. The author's breakthrough debut novel. One of the most sensational literary debuts of our time. 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. Presents Sasa Stanisic's "Wie der Soldat das Grammofon repariert" in a definitive English translation by the late great Anthea Bell. His magnificent first novel: Finalist for the German Book Prize and a global publishing sensation. Bosnian by birth, Stanisic writes exclusively in German. His historical novel is profoundly autobiographical, endowing "life in Visegrad, Bosnia-Herzegovina with a mythic quality and a kaleidoscopic brilliance. Though Aleksandar ('Aleks') and his family flee to Germany, he is haunted by his past, and especially by Asija, the mysterious girl he tried to save. Desperate to learn of her fate, he sends manic, anguished letters out into the abyss, again turning to language to conjure up all that he has had to forfeit: His homeland, his mother tongue, his innocence. Beneath the infectious vibrancy of Stanisic's voice is a sweetness and pathos that will haunt the reader long after the book ends. Captures the catastrophe of war through a child's eyes and shows how words have the ability to mend what is broken and resurrect what is lost" (Publisher's blurb). "The most valuable gift of all is invention; imagination is our greatest wealth" (Sasa Stanisic). Together with Sara Novic's debut, "Girl At War" (2015), Stanisic re-imagines the tragedy of the Balkan civil war in haunting, unforgettable prose for our time. And he can't let go, not yet at any rate: His new novel, "Herkunft" - "Where You Come From", in Damion Searls' brilliant translation - revisits his debut novel's themes and (finally) won the German Book Prize in 2019. The latter title's First British Edition, which is a hardcover original - the American is a softcover only - comes with this copy. An absolute "must-have" title for Sasa Stanisic collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by Sasa Stanisic. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. It comes with a copy of First British Edition of "Where You Come From", his sequel-novel, which is a hardcover original (the American is a softcover only). 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 or are subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Finalist for the German Book Prize in 2006 for "How The Soldier Repairs The Gramophone". Winner of the German Book Prize in 2019 for "Where You Come From". One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine set. (SEE ALSO SARA NOVIC TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0802118666. Signed by Author. …
