(Prague): n.p., 1987 
21 x 15cm, 294pp. Plain brown cloth boards. Xerox copy of Hrabal's novel. Professionally bound but the Xeroxing of the pages was a little careless but that was not unusual with such quasi-legal documents. Hrabal is regarded as a major literary figure who was not allowed to publish many of his works in his native land until after the end of Communism and this is a lesser known work by him and probably in first edition. Near fine with only slight bumping to corners of the boards.

(Prague although "printed in Austria" and presumably smuggled in): n.p. (poss. 68 Publishers), n,d. (1985?)

21.5 x 15.5cm, 196pp. Plain green cloth boards. Xerox copy of an Austrian printed copy of this novel. Professionally bound but the Xeroxing of the pages was a little careless with edges of the original pages very obvious. This copy is also a variant of a Samizdat book of the same name (previously offered by us and sold) which was in carbon copy typed version from 1980 - hence this copy is a variant on that publication but not from the typed text in the other book. Both Xerox and cc copies were used by samizdat publishers of such texts - it is not clear if both variants were published / circulated by the same person or whether the productions were independent of each other. It is known that both an internally produced copy of the work (created by Petlice the anti-State publishing house) and an externally published version (by 68 Publishers) were released within the Republic. Very good +.

A VARIANT ON THE CARBON COPY PUBLICATION – TWO VOLUMES https://unoriginalsins.co.uk/product/obsluhoval-jsam-anglickeho-krale-vols-1-2-1982-a-variant-on-the-carbon-copy-publication-two-volumes/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=obsluhoval-jsam-anglickeho-krale-vols-1-2-1982-a-variant-on-the-carbon-copy-publication-two-volumes Sat, 27 Jun 2020 15:53:29 +0000 https://unoriginalsins.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=27134 n.p. (Prague): n.p., 1982

Two volumes, uniformly 21.5 x 15cm, together 301pp (numbered recto only) Xeroxed internal pages. Cloth foil stamped boards professionally bound. B/w photographic portrait of the author as frontispiece. Near fine although the second volume has had some pages slightly misaligned in the binding process but this is a minor flaw and is as published.

This is a famous work by the author which was recently made into a well received film - but is also a variant of a Samizdat book of the same name (previously offered by us and sold) in carbon copy typed version whereas this copy is a Xerox copy of that typed text (it seems) and thus may be regarded as a possible second edition. The original book was written in 1973. Both xerox and cc copies were used by the publishers of such texts.
