Description from the seller
Max Brod (Prague 1884- Tel-Aviv 1968) is best known for being Franz Kafka's close friend, literary executor of his posthumous work and biographer, but he himself was also a prolific writer.
His work "August Nachreiters Attentat" ("August Nachreiter’s Assassination") is a short story published earlier a collected prosa edition (Weiberwirtschaft) - here published for the first time separately - Nr. 47 of 100 copies of a limited edition, signed by the author in the colophon.
Despite the title, it is not about an assassination. The story is an ironic psychological portrait of an aging, overly obedient bookkeeper who has spent forty years serving the same boss.
His “assassination” is only a tiny inner rebellion, The main character clearly lives in the same psychological landscape as Kafka’s "Herr K" character.
Original half-leather binding. Spine and edges of binding with mild wear. Flyleaf opposite to title-page a few cm detached from the top hinges. Otherwise tight and fresh.
Rarely on the market.
(shipping via registered airmail, arrival time 10 - 30 working days, depending on destination, to Italy we ship with EMS courier).
