First printing. Scarce first US edition of Werfel's work of H.G. Wellsian science fiction updated by "Einstein and Catholicism" (Kahn) in the rare dust jacket. Werfel's narrator first dies, then makes haste to California-Lemuria some hundred thousand years later. Inventive and unpredictable, concerned with time and timelessness, etiquette and mysticism, astral flight and angelology, committee meetings of talking dogs and the mass exodus of domestic cats from the hearths of humanity to somewhere out of the world. Werfel's ambitious and lengthy last work, it was written in German during his last years in California, then first published (posthumously) in Sweden as STERN DER UNGEBORENEN in 1946. 8.25'' x 5.5''.
