A Fine copy in the Publisher's original stiff wrappers (some expected transfer from the dust jacket to the book's stiff card covers and from the dust jacket's flaps to the cover's versos and to the free endpaper rectos, minor push at the base of a few early pages) in a Fine dust jacket (small push at the spine head), INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY TOMAS TRANSTROMER on the half-title as follows: din vän / från Tomas / Tranströmer" ["your friend / from Tomas / Tranströmer"] and further SIGNED BY ROBERT BLY, the book's translator and a great friend of Tomas Transtromer's, at the end of his introduction to the book. (Bly also has drawn a sketch under his signature.) Winner of the 2011 Nobel Prize for Literature, Tomas Transtromer is one of the most important Scandinavian writers to emerge in the post World War II period, as well as one of the most influential Scandinavian Poets of his era. An important book, "20 Poems" is Transtromer's debut book in English translation. Signed copies of his work are uncommon to the market. Signed copies in English translation are quite scarce, and copies additionally signed by Robert Bly, his great friend and translator, are scarcer still. As Transtromer now has won one of Literature's greatest awards, reprints of his work soon will proliferate, but first edition copies of this, his debut book in English translation, should remain scarce, and signed copies of it quite so. A Fine copy of Tomas Transtromer's debut book in English translation, SIGNED BY TOMAS TRANSTROMER AND FURTHER SIGNED BY ROBERT BLY.
