Den ikke almindelige originaludgave med det sjælden originale omslag (ses sjældent bevaret og da oftest kun med formomslaget) af Hamsuns tidlige Amerika-kritiske værk, som udkom samme år som den første del af hans hovedværk, Sult, som udgjorde hans egentlige gennembrud.Værket er skrevet på baggrund af Hamsuns egne erfaringer fra hans to længerevarende ophold i USA og udgør ""en udvidelse af et Par Foredrag, jeg har holdt sidste Vinter i Københavns Studentersamfund."" (Forord). Efter fra 1886 for anden gang at have opholdt sig i USA, denne gang i Chicago, drog Hamusn i forsommeren 1888 tilbage mod Nord. Han var blevet fyret fra sit arbejde som sporvognskonduktør, og vennerne havde skilliget sammen til en billet hjem fra det efterhånden forhadte land. Hamsun stod dog ikke af i Kristiania men tog skibet videre til København, hvor han allerede i vinteren samme år holdt de par foredrag, som dette værk er baseret på. 1889 er et skelsættende år for Hamsun. Det er i dette år, folket får øjnene op for, hvad det er for en forfatter hér er at gøre med, og ""Fra det Moderne Amerikas Aandsliv"", som skriver sig fra dette år, er noget af det mest direkte Hamsunske, vi har. Værket er hårdt og slagfærdigt i både indhold og form, og der er ikke meget at tage fejl af: ""Det er Uaanden i den amerikanske Etikette, som gør den national, dens uideale Karakter. Det er en Forstandsetikette fra et gammelt, aristokratisk Land, tagen i Brug af et Folk af splinterny Demokrater, for hvem Friheden er Friheder og hos hvem Pieteten er en indholdsløs Form..."" (P. 241).____________________________________The uncommon first edition with the rare original wrappers (very rarely preserved and if, then usually only the front wrapper) of Hamsun's early work on the cultural life of America in the 1880'ies, -an extremely critical and harsh work based on Hamsun's experiences from his two year-long stays in America. The first American edition did not appear untill 1969.

America Rising: Power and Political Economy in the First Nation
New Brunswick (NJ), Transaction Publishers, 2009. First edition. Octavo, 235 x 160 mm, (xiii) 265 pp. Hardcover with dust jacket. "The United States became a great power in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and a superpower during World War II without quite knowing it. Few Americans fully appreciate the fact today. How many people know that in recent years we have had 250,000 troops in 700 bases around the world? Consider our recent history of military operations in the Caribbean, East Asia, the Far East, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Balkans. In America Rising, David Felix attempts to explain how and why America became a superpower by examining the political and economic factors that have driven its ascendance and their relationship throughout history. Felix begins with the dawn of America, showing how America amassed wealth and political power from the start through wars, assertions of economic might, and the creation of a cultural and philosophical base. The nation began with a political order, derived from our British origins, which enabled our pragmatic culture to take advantage of the vast wealth of a near-virgin continent. Political and economic freedom were paired, authority yielding to both freedoms. Our farmers and businessmen were dreamers, manufacturing realities out of those dreams. Felix's account then makes a point of neoclassical economics as an anvil on which to hammer out a sharper sense of the content of our existence. This book, which demonstrates the author's zest for historical analysis and great story-telling ability, points to the central fact of a rising America--the intensely energizing interaction between polity and economy. The United States is the greatest power in world history, but the rise of another great power, China, is beginning to be increasingly apparent. One trusts that, drawing upon its deep resources, America will remember its history and traditions and continue as a superpower." (Front and back flap)
Minute scuffing on the DJ, parts underlined in pencil, aside from that like new. Pages are crisp and clean, no yellowing/foxing, not ex-library.
