SEALSFIELD (Charles)
DAS KAJUETENBUCH...
Volk Und Buch Verlag Leipzig 1947 ... Oder, Nationale Charakteristiken. Octavo (7.5 x 5 inches), original cloth-backed boards, slight wear, 480 pages. Illustrations from drawings by Hans Albert Foerster. This edition is not in the NUC. Modern edition of his "Cabin Book," first published in Zurich in 1841 & in the US in 1844, as "The Cabin Book, or Sketches of Life in Texas..." [Wright I-2327]. Like B. Traven a hundred years later, he escaped Europe on the run from the authorities and assumed the new identity of "Charles Sealsfield" (he was born Karl Anton Postl). Facinated by America & Mexico, he invented a new novel form - the ethnographic novel (again there seems to be a parallel with Traven).
