The Viking Press, 1934. Second printing, red cloth bound hardcover with dust jacket of The Forty Days of Musa Dagh by Franz Werfel, translated from the German by Geoffrey Dunlop.

This story of heroism from the Armenian Genocide features an interesting note of historical context on the dust jacket's front flap: "Though not actually banned in Germany, [this book] is listed as 'undesirable' by the Hitler regime and may only be sold surreptitiously by booksellers who wish to remain in good standing."

Good condition. Dust jacket complete with lots of edge and corner wear, and some chipping particularly to the top of the spine. Light soiling to the page block edge. Inner pages crisp and clean. Solid copy with shelf wear.
