Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

First impression of the first US edition, with the full-number-string sequence: 94 95 96 97 98 99 5 4 3 2 1 on the printer's page. Translated from the Japanese by various authors. ***A very good copy in blue cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles to the spine. The boards are clean with no marks or damage. Head and tail of spine slightly creased, otherwise no bumps or creases. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Page block edges clean, but please note that the bottom outer corner of the page block has been bumped and this affects all the pages - not too noticeable (please see scans). Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. No foxing. Pages clean. No tears. ***In a very good printed dustwrapper, which is unpriced (as is the case with many academic books). The dustwrapper shows some creasing at the edges, and there are creases also to the bottom corner of the back inner flap. However, no serious creases, chips or tears. No fading. Dustwrapper bright. ***530 pages including Selected References in "Youth", Glossary and List of Contributors at the back of the book. 242mm x 160mm. ***'Mori Ogai's (1862-1922) stature among modern Japanese writers is virtually unparalleled, but until recently his work in translation has languished in scholarly monographs and journals. In "Youth and Other Stories", noted Japan scholar J. Thomas Rimer has gathered several of Ogai's best-known stories and the first complete translation of a major work, "Seinen" (Youth). Rimer has chosen the best English translations available to accompany ones prepared especially for this anthology. Scholars and students of modern Japanese literature - of modern Japan as a whole - will appreciate this anthology of work by one of Japan's most gifted writers, a central figure of Meiji thought and letters.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper. ***'Lieutenant-General Mori Rintarō ( Feb 17, 1862 - Ju 8, 1922), known by his pen name Mori Ōgai was a Japanese Army Surgeon general officer, translator, novelist, poet and father of famed author Mari Mori. He obtained his medical license at a very young age and introduced translated German language literary works to the Japanese public. Mori Ōgai also was considered the first to successfully express the art of western poetry in Japanese. He wrote many works and created many writing styles. "The Wild Geese" (1911-1913) is considered his major work. After his death, he was considered one of the leading writers who modernized Japanese literature.' (Wiki) ***First impression of the first American edition, in its original dustwrapper, in very good condition, albeit with the bump to the corner of the page block. A very uncommon title and particularly hard to find in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
