Paperback. Zustand: Good. André Gide praised The Asiatics as "an authentic masterpiece"; Thomas Mann called it "brilliant." First published in 1935 and virtually unavailable for years, this extraordinary novel tells the story of a young American--the unnamed narrator--who hitchhikes his way across Asia, from Beirut to China, living off the land and depending on the hospitality of the people he meets along the road. As Pico Iyer writes in the introduction, "[Prokosch] catches the peculiar logic that makes travel a land of alternative reality, a foreign state in itself that is an intoxication.".…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Frederic Prokosch's The Asiatics was his first novel and the work which established his literary reputation, presenting the episodic journey of a young American travelling across an exotic and often threatening Asia from the Middle East towards China. Blending adventure, travel narrative and dreamlike invention, Prokosch created an imagined Asia largely without having visited the places he described, yet the novel was widely admired for the richness and atmosphere of its landscapes. Published in 1935, it became an international success and was awarded the Prix Femina Vie Heureuse. This stated first edition has particularly appealing literary provenance, coming from the personal library of the novelist and noted book collector Hugh Walpole (1884-1941) at Brackenburn, his Lake District home, and bearing his distinctive gilt monogram bookplate. The Asiatics, by Frederic Prokosch. Published by Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York and London, 1935. Stated first edition. Printed in the United States of America. Manufactured by the "Haddon Craftsmen". A good (plus) black cloth hardback with elaborate gilt title design to spine. Covers with some light wear and blind stamped design motif to vertical edge of front cover. With its original dustjacket - not price-clipped. The jacket is of gilt metallic background - now faded to silver on spine. The jacket has some significant wear with nibbles to extremities and losses to head and tail of spine. Flaps with some creases. Of principal interest is the bookplate of Hugh Walpole showing that this came from his personal library at Brackenburn, his Lake District home. The bookplate is a burgundy leather-style paper lozenge with gilt monogram and is found on the inside front cover.  The book has pictorial endpapers. Some light spotting to free endpapers at each end of the book. Text pages are clean and bright throughout. Some dust toning to top edge.  Text in English. (Prelims) + 423pp + (1) printer's information. Weight approximately 590g. Dimensions: Approximately 211mm high x 148mm wide x 37mm deep.…
