Doctor Faustus Thomas Mann

A beautifully preserved copy of the acclaimed novel by the German writer and social critic who died at the age of 80 in 1955. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1929, primarily for two of his most significant books, Buddenbrooks and The Magic Mountain. This is his last novel and is dated 1948, when the First American edition was published. This is identified as a Borzoi Book on the copyright page as well as in a small blindstamp at the base of the rear cover. This is not a first edition. Pristine black boards with gold gilt on the spine. No notes, comments, underlining, previous owners' names. No DJ.
