(Jerusalem: Tarshish Books / Goldbergs Press), [circa 1947].
Price: $3,500.00
Hardcover. First separate edition, reprinted from *The Palestine Stories*. Translated from the Hebrew by I.M. Lask. Thin octavo. Boards a bit soiled else near fine. Inscribed in Hebrew by Agnon (we believe to an unpublished American playwright named Stanley Levenson). One of only 40 copies printed. Books inscribed by the 1966 Nobel Laureate, the first Israeli to win the Prize and one of the central figures of modern Hebrew literature, are very uncommon. In addition the book is rare – *OCLC* locates a single copy, at the National Library of Israel.
