Year Language Title 1925ⓘTranslated by Lawrence Hyde The entry used to have the subtitle "An Atomic Fantasy" with "title verified from Tuck"; however primary sources (photos and scans online) as well as reliable catalogs make it clear that no actual edition included it. The occasional occurence (like in 1948's The Bookseller or The Publishers' Circular and Booksellers' Record) clearly came up from confusion with Allen & Unwin's "Atomic Phantasy: Krakatit" and tendency to normalise both spelling and ordering. English Krakatit 1948ⓘTranslated by Lawrence Hyde (1925). Illegible signature on the dustjacket bottom right. The copyright page says 'First published in Great Britain under the title "Krakatit" in 1925 (Geoffrey Bless). Reprinted under the title "An Atomic Phantasy" in 1948 by George Allen & Unwin'. However, Krakatit is retained as subtitle on its recto title page; see ideally Panoply Books photos. The US ed uses the same typesetting (including "Printed in Great Britain ... by Unwin Brothers Limited, Woking and London"!), adding just "Published in 1951 by Arts, Inc., New York". English An Atomic Phantasy: Krakatit 1949ⓘTranslated by Julius Mader. The full text of this edition is available at Projekt Gutenberg-DE.
