Alexanderplatz Berlin. The Story of Franz Biberkopf.
New York: Viking Press, 1931. First English language edition. Two volumes. 290; [291]-635 pp. Original gray cloth, decorated, ruled, and lettered in black and red. Spines darkened, corners bumped, previous owner name on title-pages. A solid set, lacking the jackets and slipcase. Translated into "the American" by Eugene Jolas. For many decades the only English translation available of this great novel of Weimar Berlin, a decadent cacophony of Berliner Schnauze. Memorably the basis for Fassbinder's epic film. Item #1998
