KAFKA, Franz.. Der Prozess.. Berlin: Verlag Die Schmiede, 1925, 1925.

Price: US$2600.34 + shipping

Description: First edition, first printing, scarce, especially so in collectible condition, as here. The novel was one of three works (the others being Das Schloss and Amerika) unfinished at the time of Kafka's death in 1924. Though the author had instructed his friend Max Brod to destroy the manuscripts, Brod ignored his wishes and edited the works for publication. The covers were designed by the German-American artist George Salter, who later illustrated the first US edition of the novel's English translation in 1937. Octavo. Original green cloth, blue paper labels to spine and front cover printed in dark red, top edge yellow. Spine and extremities sunned, as often, light wear to head of spine, contents clean: a very good copy.
