Amerika

The original-language German first (Kurt Wolff, Munich, 1927) is the true first. First edition in English is the Willa & Edwin Muir translation issued in London by George Routledge & Sons in 1938 under the variant title 'America'; the first American edition followed from New Directions (Norfolk, CT), published 8 October 1940 as 'Amerika' in the New Classics series (Klaus Mann preface, Brod afterword, Alvin Lustig jacket, 277 pp.). The London 1938 issue precedes the US 1940 issue; the German first and both translated editions are collected.
