San Francisco: The Ascensius Press, 1992. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. One of about 50 copies, quarto size, 52 pp. Franz Kafka (1883-1924) is considered by many to be one of the twentieth century's pre-eminent authors, fusing elements of realism with the fantastic; he is known for his use of an isolated and detached protagonist who is forced to face a bizarre, surreal predicament and his works often explore themes of alienation, existential anxiety, and guilt (n. b., info from Wikipedia). "The Metamorphosis" is his best known work, beginning with the famous line, "When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin"; the story is tragic in its descriptions of a family's struggle with abrupt isolationism and change.
This publication by The Ascensius Press contains the complete text of Kafka's story, beautifully printed letterpress and bound in marbled paper over soft boards, giving the grisly tale of Gregor Samsa a gentle and inviting appearance. Although 150 copies were printed, according to the publisher only about a third were ever bound, and the number of copies distributed is closer to fifty; the rest of the copies no longer exist.
___DESCRIPTION: Grey cloth shelfback with turquoise, blue and grey marbled paper boards, red leather spine label with gilt lettering and ruled borders, yellow endpapers, bookbinder's ticket for Gray Parrot, Hancock Maine on rear pastedown; Linotype Fairfield type, quarto size (11.5" by 7.5"), pagination: [i-vi] [1] 2-45 [46-47], one of about 50 copies, unnumbered.
___CONDITION: A fine copy overall; the covers clean, the corners straight and unrubbed, the binding tight with solid hinges, the interior clean and bright, and free of prior owner markings; a hint of foxing to the marbled paper covering at the corners of the front board, else fine.
___CITATION: The Ascensius Press Catalogue.
___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.
