Holy Masquerade by Olov Hartman, published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a 1963 hardcover edition. This book is an English translation of the Swedish novel "Helig Maskerad," originally published in 1950 by Norlin Förlag AB, Sweden. Translated by Karl A. Olsson, this edition is a representation of Hartman's religious fiction, exploring profound themes within a narrative framework. The book's physical condition indicates it is an ex-library copy, with inscriptions from previous owners, adding a layer of historical character. While the absence of a dust jacket might affect its aesthetic appeal, the book remains a significant piece for collectors interested in translated religious literature. The scarcity of this edition in the market makes it a valuable find for enthusiasts of Olov Hartman's work.
