Beschreibung
Apparently a proof copy with two volumes bound as one. According to a note from the prior dealer this was purchased from a collector who had a note in the book (now missing) saying it had been a proof copy from Alfred A. Knopf. Indeed there is a hand-written bound- in note stating: "Dear Miss Allen - I believe this to be not only the greatest novel I have ever published but the greatest novel I expect to ever publish. Do please buy it. Yours sincerely, Alfred A Knopf." High praise indeed! Alfred A. Knopf was an American publisher, the founder and longtime chairman of the prestigious publishing house Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. Knopf published many of the most important writers of the 20th Century including Thomas Mann, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Andre Gide, Jack London, Willa Cather, Ezra Pound, and many more. Dark green binder's silk cloth with gilt titles to spine. Hamsun's masterpiece and winner of the Nobel Prize for literature. Recipient's bookplate to front, small stains to pp. 140-147 and 66-71. Very good and possibley unique as such. See photos. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 46441
