Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Kressmann Taylor's Address Unknown is a rediscovered classic. Originally published in 1938 - it is now an international bestseller, and reveals the extraordinary power of the pen as a weapon. This is a book that needs to be read. Thanks to word-of-mouth recommendation from reader to reader, Address Unknown has been reprinted 11 times. Short but shattering, it will linger in your memory. Can friendship survive in a divided world? Written on the eve of the Holocaust as a series of letters between a Jew in America and his German friend, Kressmann Taylor's classic novel is a haunting tale of a society poisoned by Nazism. First published in 1938, Address Unknown met with immediate success in English but was banned in Europe by the Nazis. Tragically prescient about what was to come, it was one of the earliest works of fiction to warn against the growing dangers of fascism and antisemitism in Europe. It became an international bestseller and has been translated into more than twenty languages. A novel of enduring impact with a memorable sting in its tail, Address Unknown stands as a powerful reminder of the dangers posed by the rhetoric of intolerance.

Condición: VERY GOOD. 5th printing of original edition. Foreword by Whit Burnett,the editor of Story Magazine, who describes this as the most popular story ever published in the then 8 year old history of that magazine. It is a story written as a series of letters, from November 1932 to March 1934, between a Jewish art dealer, living in San Francisco, and his business partner, who had returned with his family to Germany in 1932. This, the first separate edition, reportedly sold 50,000 copies, it was translated into many languages, although the edition in German was published in Moscow and banned in Germany, and the basis for a 1944 film of the same name. A 1995 re-issue was translated into 20 languages and sold millions of copies. A 2019 review in The Guardian comments that this story, "distils the essence of the ideology that cast a deathly shadow over the 20th century. Across a few economic pages it touches the heart of the Nazi darkness. . . it illuminates not just the specific texture of the early Nazi period, but something more timeless. It serves as a guide to the way any politics of identity especially one that invokes the people, rooting that idea in blood and soil eventually, and often very rapidly, divides and polarises. Max and Martin [had found] 'warmth and understanding, where small selfishnesses are impossible and where wine and books and talk give a different meaning to existence'. But even the very best of friends can be rent apart. . . We tell ourselves, as these characters do, that friendship is eternal, that some bonds will never be broken. This short story warns us that ideology, once it has turned to fever, is stronger than friendship. That this short, fleeting story has lasted so long is not only because of its artistic achievement, and not only because, written in 1938, it astonishingly anticipated the horror that was yet to come. It is because its prescience is not confined to its time. It saw into our own future too." An appealing small volume, uncommon in all printings of the original edition. Unpaginated (61 pp) Very good in beige boards with red text and white envelope embossed on front cover.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good Minus. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very rare First Edition (SD). There are just a couple of others for sale on the Internet. You can see the covers in the photos. There is some spotting, mostly on the front cover. The black spine has only minor wear, including one small spot of rub-through at both of its ends. There is a bit of tan discoloration on some of the white lettering, but the lettering is bright. The six edges have some rubbing but no rub-through. All four corners have spots of rub-through. The top page edge is red. The spine has a slight forward lean, but the book is quite solidly bound from cover to cover. The only space I saw between any facing pages occurs between the title page and the blank page facing it, only over the bottom 2 1/4 inches, where a little webbing can be seen. However, both of these pages are tightly bound from top to bottom, without issue. The covers are tightly bound as well, their junctures free of wear. There is some browning/tanning on both sides of the junctures between the inside covers and endpapers. There is a signed inscription on the blank first front end paper. It reads simply 'Father from Hope Christmas 1940.' There is no other writing to be found anywhere in the book. The pages are fairly clean, specks and tiny tan spots are not uncommon, typically only one or two on a page. I saw one slightly larger tan spot off the top edge of one page, though not large enough to reach the print. There are no placeholder creases, no sharp creases. There are a number of those light corner semi-creases, presumably created by a very slight bending at some point in time. There are two consecutive pages with a 1/2 inch tear off their bottom edge in the same place. There are no other tears. On both sides of the juncture between the second of these two pages with the small tear the surface of the paper is a little rougher than normal, a good guess that they may have been a little bit stuck to one another and nudged apart, creating just a minor difference in appearance, no tears or loss. There are no markings in the book. There are no attachments of any kind. I've provided pictures of every part of the dust jacket. Given its age I would describe the wear as minor, two small chips off the top edge of the rear cover, a couple of small scuffs on the rear side of the spine, some toning and spotting on the rear cover along with a 1/2 inch tear off its bottom edge. The flaps have some spotting/foxing and all four corners have tucking-in clips, the one at the front bottom corner not reaching the price. I've always had the jacket in a fitted protective cover. Published in book form in 1939, Address Unknown was banned in Germany. it was a huge success in the U.S. and in much of Europe. It was the basis for 1944 film directed by William Cameron Menzies and starring Paul Lukas and Carl Esmond. 'The novella Address Unknown, is a biting indictment of the rise of Fascism in Germany. It was written as a series of letters sent between two partners in an art dealership, one a Gentile who works in Munich, the other a Jew who stays in the main office in San Francisco. Under the masculine pen-name "Kressmann Taylor" the novella was serialized in Story magazine from September to October of 1938. It was a sensation and was soon reprinted in Reader's Digest and became a best-seller when published by Simon & Schuster in 1939. From the dust jacket: 'This is, of course, far more than a beautifully and powerfully written story. Its author understands how human beings behave under violent pressure, how they respond with fear, defiance, revenge and passion to such a condition of life as exists in Germany today. And this understanding gives her a deep, tragic realization of all that Hitlerism means. Kressmann Taylor has, in a few perfect strokes, stripped the regime down to its meaning in terms of three representative human beings whose destiny symbolizes the destinies of millions.' Translated into 20 languages, the book finally appeared in Germany in 2001.
