The Island Of Second Sight (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Galileo Publishers, Cambridge, 2010
ISBN 10: 1903385555 ISBN 13: 9781903385555
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Unavailable to English readers for more than 50 years, The Island of Second Sight is a masterpiece of world literature. Set in the years leading up to World War II, it is the fictionalised account of the time spent in Mallorca by the author and his wife, who experience the most unpredictable and surreal adventures, pursued all the while by Nazis and Francoists. And just as the chaos comes to seem manageable, the Spanish Civil War erupts. Drawing comparisons to Don Quixote and The Man Without Qualities, The Island of Second Sight is a novel of astonishing and singular richness of language and purpose. At once ironic and humanistic, hilarious and profoundly serious, philosophical and grotesque, The Island of Second Sight is a literary tour de force. AUTHOR: Albert Vigoleis Thelen (1903-1989) was a German writer and translator. During the rise of the Nazi regime, he lived on Mallorca with Beatrice Bruckner, whom he married in 1934. The Island of Second Sight was awarded the Fontane Prize upon its first publication. A sweeping novel of pre 2nd World War Majorca hailed as a masterpiece by many critics. Beautifully translated from the German by Donald White (winner of 2013 Pen Translation Award). Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Verschmutzung / Wasserschaden; Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Abnutzung / Risse - deutlich. Unavailable to English readers for over 50 years, this novel is a masterpiece of world literature set in the years leading up to World War II. It offers a fictionalized account of the author's time in Mallorca with his wife, where they encounter unpredictable and surreal adventures while being pursued by Nazis and Francoists. Just as their chaotic circumstances seem manageable, the Spanish Civil War erupts, adding to the turmoil. Drawing comparisons to Don Quixote and The Man Without Qualities, this work showcases an astonishing richness of language and purpose. It is both ironic and humanistic, hilarious yet profoundly serious, philosophical and grotesque--a true literary tour de force. Praise for the novel includes descriptions as a "masterpiece" and "genuine work of art," with comparisons to Mann's Magic Mountain and other significant German masterpieces. Critics highlight the author's ability to convey humor, challenging the misconception that Germans lack a sense of humor. Through this work, the author, via his translator, introduces the English-speaking world to his unique perspective and wit.

Hardcover. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First American edition (first printing). A fine copy in a dust jacket with minor edge wear. Set on Mallorca in the 1930s in the years leading up to World War II, it is the fictionalized account of the time spent there by author--writing as Vigoleis, his alter-ego--and his wife, Beatrice, lured to the island by Beatrice's dying brother, who, as it turns out not dying at all but broke and ensnared by the local prostitute. Pursued by both the Nazis and Spanish Francoists, Vigoleis and Beatrice embark on a series of the most unpredictable and surreal adventures in order to survive. Low on money, the couple seeks shelter in a brothel for the military, serves as tour guides to groups of German tourists, and befriends such literary figures Robert Graves and Harry Kessler, as well as the local community of smugglers, aristocrats, and exiled German Jews. Vigoleis with his inventor hat on even creates a self-inflating brassiere. Then the Spanish Civil War erupts, presenting new challenges to their escape plan. Throughout, Vigoleis is an irresistibly engaging narrator; by turns amusing, erudite, naughty, and always utterly entertaining. Drawing comparisons to Don Quixote and The Man Without Qualities, The Island of Second Sight is a novel of astonishing and singular richness of language and purpose; the story is picaresque, the voice ironic, the detail often hilarious, yet it is a work of profound seriousness, with an anti-war, anti-fascist, humanistic attitude at its core. With a style ranging from the philosophical to the grotesque, the colloquial to the arcane, The Island of Second Sight is a literary tour de force.
