19222192Berlin and Leipzig: S. Fischer Verlag 1922. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST PRINTING IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS. "One of the most highly regarded literary and cultural journals in the German language Die neue Rundschau which is still published today first appeared in 1890. In Kafka's time it was the major periodical publication of one of the leading German literary presses. it published literary works by some of the most significant authors of the time including Herman Hesse Thomas Mann Rainer Maria Rilke. Kafka was a regular reader of Die neue Rundschau throughout his life." After Kafka's submission of "Die Verwandlung" "The Metamorphosis" was rejected due to its inordinate length "Kafka was disappointed not to be able to count himself among the authors represented by this respected journal. However he did eventually join their ranks in October 1922 when the story "Ein Hungerkünstler" "A Hunger Artist" appeared here." Kafka "indirectly lifted this piece to significant stature in his oeuvre by exempting it from the wish of annihilation that he had decreed for most of his other works. In addition he chose it as the title story for the last volume of stories that he was able to oversee" Richard T. Gray A Franz Kafka Encyclopedia.

Gallimard Paris 1981 11 x 18 cm broché The first edition published only in paperback format of which there were no deluxe copies one of the Service de Presse advance copies. Moving and precious signed autograph inscription from Maurice Blanchot to his sister Marguerite on a card mounted on the first endpaper: ""Chère Marg ce livre qui n'est pas un livre mais qui te dit en ces jours si sombres ma fidèle ma profonde affection. Maurice."" ""Dear Marg this book which is not a book but which tells you in these dark days my faithful one my deep affection. Maurice."" Envelope bearing Marguerite Blanchot's address written by her brother Maurice mounted on the half-title page. Marguerite Blanchot renowned organist at the cathedral of Chalon remained all her life in the family home with her mother and aunt. ""She gradually became for the family like the memory of origins.""

While Blanchot's intense affection for his mother and sister shows through in his dedications we know almost nothing of their relationship.

Very proud of him . she attached great importance to his political ideas . She read a great deal . They telephoned each other corresponded. At a distance they shared the same natural authority the same concern for discretion."" Blanchot indeed sent her numerous works from his library maintaining with her a continuous intellectual bond.
