GERMAN EDITION:

George Dibbern died in June 1962. That September Henry Miller visited Elisabeth Dibbern in Munich. He instigated thepublication of Quest in German. The book, translated by Arno Dohm, and for which Miller wrote the foreword, was published in 1965, by the now defunct Claassen Verlag in Hamburg.

The title, Unter eigener Flagge (Under his own flag), caused his wife some concern as Quest deals with the years 1930-1935 and it was only in 1937 that Dibbern sailed under his own flag.

The identical book (physically) was issued with two different dust jackets, with different blurbs on the flaps—designed by two different individuals.

This appears to be the original. The black waves continued
to the back which had no text. The line on the bottom: In
a sailboat over the seas of the world.

Similarly there was no text on the back of this dust jacket,
designed by Holger Koch. Interestingly, the book is billed as
a novel.
