The Dwarf [Dvärgen] [Signed / Ingraverat]
Author: Lagerkvist, Par
Publisher: New York L. B. Fischer 1945
First American edition A Very Good copy of the first American edition (and the first edition in English translation), first printing (some pushing to the spine ends, bottom corner of rear board bumped, modest shelf wear, spot of surface damage to top of rear pastedown), in a Very Good age-toned dust jacket (spine ends modestly chipped, small chips to corners, some tiny chips along top edges, a short, closed, tear where the front panel joins the lower spine), SIGNED BY PAR LAGERKVIST on the title page. Translated from the Swedish by Alexandra Dick, the novel is narrated by a misanthropic Dwarf, 26 inches tall, who believes in an unforgiving God and who himself embodies Evil, serving the ruler of a Renaissance era Italian City-State. In this, one of Lagerkvist's best-known works, the Dwarf and the other characters, illustrate the major evils of the human race. Elected in 1940 as one of the 18 "Immortals" of the Swedish Academy, Lagerkvist was as highly influential writer from his twenties into his seventies, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1951 "for the artistic vigour and true independence of mind with which he endeavors in his poetry to find answers to the eternal questions confronting mankind". Signed copies of Lagerkvist's works are quite scarce and signed copies in English translation are especially so. One of Lagerkvist's major works, this title is especially difficult to find signed in any language. A Very Good copy, SIGNED BY PAR LAGERKVIST. Hardcover Book condition: Very Good. Jacket condition: very good
Price: US$1,250.00. Quantity available: 1.
