{"product_id":"the-land-without-death-the-amazonas-trilogy-9781912916825","title":"The Land Without Death: The Amazonas Trilogy","description":"Alfred Döblin (1878-1957) composed his epic trilogy of South America under difficult circumstances of exile. It was accessible on first publication in 1937-38 only outside Germany, and for only a couple of years before war broke out. The first postwar edition, like others of Döblin's works apart from Berlin Alexanderplatz, was little noticed in a Germany traumatised by Nazism and defeat. Neither the pre-war not the first post-war edition explicitly linked the separate volumes as parts of a unitary work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1960s the separate novels were first brought together by Walter Muschg, editor of the first series of Döblin's 'selected works', under the overall title Amazonas. Muschg, however, decided to cut Volume 3 entirely. Not until 1973 did the trilogy first appear in full, in East Germany. Another 15 years passed before the first complete edition in West Germany. So only in the past three or four decades has this work begun to receive the critical attention it richly deserves. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe epic is set mainly in South America, but its true focus is Europe. The urgent guiding proposition is: The Nazis did not emerge from nowhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Galileo Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912916825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 43.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.50w x 2.00d","brand":"Alfred Doblin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42406043713717,"sku":"9781912916825","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3e3cb975-2f3c-41ac-8e97-da3ab3026be9.jpg?v=1664285508","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-land-without-death-the-amazonas-trilogy-9781912916825","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
