About This Item
NY: Harcourt, 1961. First. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First edition (stated). The author's powerful second novel, the story of a Nazi concentration camp survivor who comes to America and becomes the proprietor of a Harlem pawnshop. Basis for the acclaimed Sidney Lumet film starring Rod Steiger. A tight, fine copy in bright dust jacket which has a crinkled, internally repaired chip to the lower 1" of the spine.
Synopsis
Sol Nazerman survived the Holocaust. His wife and children did not-he witnessed their murder in a concentration camp. He is now a Harlem pawnbroker, emotionally dead and indifferent to the desperation around him, running his shop as a front for a racketeer. Made into an Academy Award-winning film starring Rod Steiger, this is one of the most moving pieces in modern fiction.
