Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. The Austrian playwright, novelist, and poet Thomas Bernhard (1931-89) is acknowledged as one of the major writers of our time. The seven stories in this collection capture Bernhard's distinct darkly comic voice and vision - often compared to Kafka and Musil - commenting on a corrupted world. First published in German in 1967, these stories were written at the same time as Bernhard's early novels "Frost", "Gargoyles", and "The Lime Works", and they display the same obsessions, restlessness, and disarming mastery of language. Martin Chalmers' outstanding translation, which renders the work in English for the first time, captures the essential personality of the writing. 180 p. ; 21 cm. First UK edition, first printing. Red boards, unclipped dust jacket. Minimal shelf wear to edges, no inscriptions. Photographs available on request. All books dispatched same or next working day in robust packaging.…
