Description: Harlem Story The Sweet Flypaper of Life 15.00 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Roy DeCarava and Langston Hughes 1956 German edition Hardcover Edition Langewiesche-Brandt. Germany. 1956. First German edition. Bilingual edition. Hardcover. Glossy boards. No dust jacket as issued. Text in English and German. Very good. The first German edition of the classic view of life in Harlem in the 1940s and '50s as seen through the eyes of Sister Mary Bradley. The images by DeCarava and prose by Hughes are wed in a perfect union to tell the story of ordinary people who work and play, love and hate, marry and divorce, raise children and let them go, and who cope extraordinarily. Presented as a fictional vignette seen through the eyes of a feisty, widowed woman, delighted to find her "feet caught in the sweet flypaper of life" and "...dogged if (she) want(s) to get loose." Text in German and in English. Photographs by Roy DeCarava and text by Langston Hughes. Unnumbered pages. Duo-toned b&w plates throughout. All the photographs are printed beautifully in black & white. The boards have light wear. Ding to side edges. Few soil spots. Some yellowing to the boards. Hinges sound. Binding tight. Hint of tanning to page edges. A nice copy.
