Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First UK Edition. First impression of the first UK edition. Black and white photographic portrait of the author on the back of the dustwrapper by Ed Victor.***Near fine in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. Top edge of text-block stained black (…as called for). Contemporaneous owner's name and date in black biro to front free endpaper. Pages clean. Spine tight. Very slight spine lean. ***In a near fine colour illustrated textured price-clipped dustwrapper. Edges of dustwrapper very slightly rubbed. Tiny date '1927' in neat black biro in margin of front jacket inner flap. No fading. No tears. Dustwrapper bright. ***223 pages. 224mm x 142mm. ***'Jakov's remarkable book, Soul of Wood, published in Britain in 1964, brought him immediate international recognition. He was compared to Kafka, grouped with Grass and Hochhuth and hailed by the New York Times Book Review as 'the most notable short story writer to appear in the last two decades.' ***In this autobiography, he writes with the same dark brilliance, wit and irony of his early life in occupied Europe. Evacuated at the age of eleven from Vienna to Holland after the Anschluss, he escaped capture during the Nazi raids on the ghettoes by hiding in an attic. Under an assumed Dutch identity, he travelled into Germany itself in the crew of a cargo ship, and completed the war working for a secret agent in the German Air Ministry. Smuggled into Palestine, he achieved his first success as a writer and returned to Europe. ***More than an incredible story of a physical survival, Counting My Steps is the account of how one man discovered and miraculously preserved his individuality within the collective madness of war. Finding himself in the extraordinary position of an anti-semitic Semite forced by the annihilationist Nazi machine to share the fate of his people, he was able, through an insane courage and the exercise of his singular intelligence, to salvage his identity. ***Counting My Steps is the first book Jakov Lind has written in English. Moving, funny and fiercely honest, it is one of the most memorable personal testimonies of our time.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***Jakov Lind (born Heinz Jakov Landwirth, 10 Feb 1927 in Vienna - died 16 Feb 2007 in London) was an Austrian-British writer of short stories and novels. In 1954, he settled in London, where he wrote, in German, the short stories and novels on which his stature as a major European writer is based: Soul of Wood, Landscape in Concrete, and Ergo. Lind began writing in English, and the autobiography Counting My Steps was the first book written in his new language. ***First impression of the first UK edition, complete in its original dustwrapper, in very nice collectable condition. Of interest to collectors of Jakov Lind and post-war European literature. ***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. Jakov Lind [Jacket illustration] (illustrator).

The New York Times called him "the most notable short-story writer to appear in the last two decades," on the appearance of his 'Soul of Wood, and Other Stories'. With Gunther Grass and Rolf Hochhuth, he is now ranked as a major contemporary European writer. His skills as a playwright have also contributed to the dramatic intensity of Counting My Steps. ***The book is the reconstruction of Lind's years before he was twenty-three, a young Austrian Jew hiding from the Nazis ---There are three major "steps" in the story. The first, "School for Metaphysics," takes him through his school days in Vienna, discussing with his fellows "God, the world, and the ultimate destiny of men." The next, "School for Politics," recalls his years as Jan Overbeek in Holland, where he went alone as a refugee when he was eleven In between working in the fields and outwitting the Nazis, he began to discover the pleasures of sex, and other verities of existence. Fleeing Holland, he sailed as a bargeman to Germany. ---Indirectly, he finds an unlikely post inside the Air Ministry. ***In the final section of the memoir, "School for alchemy"' he escapes once more, this time as Jakov Chaklan, illegally aboard a ship to Palestine, and begins his career as a writer (Quote from inside front and rear of dustwrapper blurb). ***Jakov Lind (born Heinz Jakov Landwirth, 10 Feb 1927 in Vienna - died 16 Feb 2007 in London) was an Austrian-British writer of short stories and novels. In 1954, he settled in London, where he wrote, in German, the short stories and novels on which his stature as a major European writer is based: Soul of Wood, Landscape in Concrete, and Ergo.
