Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Riki Blanco (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, subsequent impression with number line '9 8'. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, top corners very very slightly bruised, not price clipped (£14.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, looks unread. 271pp. The devastating rediscovered classic written from the horrors of Nazi Germany, as one Jewish man attempts to flee persecution in the wake of Kristallnacht. Germany, November 1938. Otto Silbermann receives a knock on his door and realises he must flee. A respected German Jewish businessman, he has managed to evade the escalating brutality of the Nazi regime. But now, as he and his wife plan to leave, all avenues are shut down and he is forced to abandon his home amid the untrammelled violence of Kristallnacht. With all the money he can gather stuffed into a suitcase, Otto takes train after train across Germany, desperately seeking to cross the border, every moment terrified a fellow passenger will discover his Jewish identity. An unbearably tense rediscovered classic 'The Passenger' is an unparalleled depiction of the terrifying atmosphere of Nazi Germany. Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz (1915-42), was a German half Jewish author. he fled Germany with his family and in either Belgium or Luxembourg, in response to the horrors of Kristallnacht, in 1939 he wrote Der Reisende (The Passenger) The book failed to make an impact after it was originally published and was out of print shortly thereafter. However, in the 2010s the book was rediscovered and re released. This revised and re released edition was a massive success, being translated into over 20 languages and entering The Sunday Times top ten list of best selling hardbacks more than 80 years after it was originally published. When WWII broke out, Boschwitz and his mother were arrested by the British, classified as 'enemy aliens' and interned on the Isle of Man. In July 1940, Boschwitz was deported to Australia, where he was interned at a camp in New South Wales. On the voyage there, on the HMT Dunera, a crew member threw the only draft of his latest work 'Das Grosse Fressen' (?The Big Feast?), into the ocean. In Australia, Boschwitz worked on revising a second edition of Der Reisende and began a new nove,' Traumtage' (?Dream Days?). In 1942, he was freed and allowed to return to Britain. On 29th October, the vessel he was on MV Abosso, was torpedoed and sank by the German submarine U-575. Boschwitz, aged 27, was one of the 362 people onboard who died. His last works died with him. Quite a scarce book.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 270 pages. Published in 2021. The definitive version of the author's debut novel, first published in 1938. The single most valuable literary re-discovery of our time. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out upon publication. The First Edition is now rare. Re-presents, in its restored version, Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz's "Der Reisende" in the definitive English translation by Philip Boehm. Prefaced by Andre Aciman. The novel that anticipated Nazi Germany in all its nightmarish, diabolical reality. Even more important, it mirrors the harrowing personal journey of the ill-fated author himself, whose unwavering faith in his book - if not necessarily in fate and life - is marked not just by a spiritual dimension, but by the spiritual commitment and urgency that characterize all great art. "November 1938: Jewish shops have been ransacked and looted, synagogues destroyed. As storm troopers pound on his door, Otto Silbermann, a respected businessman who fought for Germany in The Great War, is forced to sneak out the back of his own home. Turned away from establishments he had long patronized, and fearful of being exposed as a Jew despite his Aryan looks, he boards a train. And then another. And another. Until his flight becomes a frantic odyssey across Germany, as he searches first for information, then for help, and finally for escape. As his world collapses around him, he is forced to concede that his nightmare is all too real. Twenty-three-year-old Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz wrote 'The Passenger' at breakneck speed in 1938, fresh in the wake of the Kristallnacht, and his prose flies at the same pace" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz collectors. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: ALL other copies available online are in innumerable subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the most prescient - and greatest - writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. ISBN 1250317142. no.
