Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. As in his widely praised Fists, Pietro Grossi's The Break brings out the epic human drama in a tale of everyday life in his characteristically lucid, stripped-down prose. Dino is a placid, unambitious man. Living in a small provincial town, he and his wife spend their time planning journeys to faraway places - journeys they never take. Dino's only passion is billiards, and he spends his evenings in the local billiards hall honing his technique. One day, however, Dino's quiet life is interrupted: his wife is pregnant. This the first in a series of events that shake him from his slumber and force him to test himself for the first time. Translated from the Italian by award-winning translator Howard Curtis, Pietro Grossi's The Break echoes the styles of Hemingway, Salinger and is published by Pushkin Press 'Small and perfectly formed . reaching its end leaves the reader desirous to start all over again' - Amanda Hopkinson, Independent 'Howard Curtis's translation moves with the swiftness of Dino's cueball' - Guardian Pietro Grossi, writer and translator, was born in 1978 in Florence and currently lives and works in Tuscany. His novel Fists is also available from Pushkin Press. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Three boys, three diverging destinies-but what, or who, is pulling the strings? It was a memorable summer: with the broken-down old road that suddenly turned into a strip of gleaming asphalt, and the abandoned motorbike the three boys found as a rusty heap and built into a racer. But it was also more than that, more than a distraction from the boredom of their small Tuscan town, than a few weeks of racing and dodging the attentions of the local Marshal. For Jacopo and his two friends, it began their journeys out into the world, separated by thousands of miles, steered by something other than fate-helped on their way, and controlled. Tautly written and deeply moving, Enchantment is more than a simple coming-of-age story, it is a powerful, original novel from an important, compelling new author. Pietro Grossi, writer and translator, was born in 1978 in Florence and currently lives and works in Tuscany. His collection of short stories, Fists, and his novel The Breakare also published by Pushkin Press. "A fine writer" Tobias Jones, The Sunday Times Praise for The Break:"Small and perfectly formed . reaching its end leaves the reader desirous to start all over again" Amanda Hopkinson, IndependentPraise for Fists: "There is more power and pathos in this short piece of spare, timeless prose than in most densely-written novels" Daniel Hahn, Independent. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Buch
Zustand: MOLTO BUONO. Sin da quando era ragazzo Dino si era messo in testa di imparare a giocare a biliardo. Voleva lezioni da Cirillo, il più bravo ed esperto del circolo, carpirne il segreto, la magica misteriosa alchimia con cui riusciva a carezzare quelle sfere lucide e colorate. Ma Cirillo non voleva saperne, almeno sino a quando Dino non fosse riuscito a far tornare la palla esattamente al punto di partenza, né un millimetro più, né un millimetro meno, e non una sola volta - il caso avrebbe potuto aiutarlo - ma proprio tutte le volte. Gli ci vogliono tre anni; ma alla fine Dino ottiene che Cirillo diventi il suo maestro, anche se a quel punto, posseggono entrambi la magia del biliardo. Gioco fatto di lunghi silenzi, di riflessioni e ragionamenti, metafora della vita: le geometrie perfette che si disegnano sul tavolo verde rimettono le cose in riga, così come il lavoro di Dino, pavimentatore di strade. Incastrare i ciottoli nella terra, cacciarli a martellate nella rena, uno dopo l'altro, milioni di ciottoli. Anche loro, così ben allineati, corrispondono all'ordine che regna nella vita di Dino, fatta di piccole felicità: la moglie Sofia, i viaggi che fanno ogni sera, restando seduti in soggiorno, i pochi amici. Poi Giani, il funzionario del Comune, gli annunzia che arriva l'asfalto: Dino e la sua squadra dovranno dimenticare il mosaico dei ciottoli. E accadono altre cose, che avvisano Dino che il suo idillio di vita era cosa troppo fragile. cm.11,5x19,5, pp.199, Coll.Il Contesto,18.

Buch
Zustand: COME NUOVO. Il Ballerino è per bene, prende bei voti, non ha mai una ragazza, è goffo e dice sempre la cosa sbagliata: fa pugilato per riappropriarsi dell'esistenza; con la sua leggerezza da libellula sul quadrato è diventato una leggenda, ma la madre gli vieta di salire sul ring e lui non si è mai misurato. La Capra è povero, è sordo e non riuscire a sentire le voci lo ha escluso dal mondo, combatte con testarda determinazione ed è un campione, ma vuole sapere se veramente è lui il più forte. Boxe, il primo di questi tre ritratti di giovani alle prese con l'iniziazione alla vita, parla di palestre e odori di corpi, di sacrifici e rese, della prova e della sfida, della rivelazione del senso segreto della vita. cm.11,5x19,5, pp.188, Coll.Il Contesto,10.

Paperback. Zustand: Fine. Told in a spare and powerful voice reminiscent of Hemingway and Salinger, the three stories in Pietro Grossi's Fists explore the rite of passage each of us faces in our youth and what it means to be a man in our time. 'Boxing', 'Horses' and 'The Monkey': three powerful coming-of-age stories about boys confronting reality, and fighting to stay alive in a man's world. In 'Fists', a teenage amateur boxer steps into the ring for the first time, and finds himself in a face-off with Life in all its muscular force; in 'Horses', two brothers embark on their first forays into adulthood, each learning to play a man's game in his own painful way; and in 'The Monkey', a young man realizes that in order to stay sane and survive in this world, we have to sacrifice our childhood dreams. Published by Pushkin Press, Howard Curtis's translation of Fists won the 2010 Premio Campiello Europa, and was shortlisted for the 2010 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. 'There is more power and pathos in this short piece of spare, timeless prose than in most densely-written novels . All three tales are artful but seemingly effortless, a quality shared by Howard Curtis's translation, which feels elegantly natural' Daniel Hahn, Independent The greatest addition to Italian literature for a very long time' Il Dominicale 'His passion for Hemingway, Faulkner and Philip Roth can be seen in this simple, precise and intense writing' Il Giornale 'An outstanding debut' Giudizio Universale 'A perfect book' Il Sole 24 Ore Pietro Grossi, writer and translator, was born in 1978 in Florence and currently lives and works in Tuscany. His novel The Break is also available from Pushkin Press.

Libro d'artista. Sempre spronato dal desiderio di esplorare le miriadi di possibilità offerte dall elaboratore, Grossi crea l HOMEBOOK. Si tratta di un editoria personalizzata e realizzata con programmi creati da lui stesso, che assicurano l unicità grafica di ciascuna opera. Qui è proposta questa prima edizione di un Homebook che fu presentata al Museo Pecci di Prato nel ?91, stampata in 100 esemplari, ciascuno diverso dall'altro. "Per la prima volta in assoluto viene presentata una pubblicazione reinventata graficamente al computer, da me istruito in ogni sua copia. Una sezione di questi unicum, che tratta di Homeart, varia anche di contenuto. Per il programma del 21 settembre 1991 ho realizzato al 'personal', in fase di prova-stampa, cento copie della pubblicazione, cento unicum. E' un'editoria personalizzata domestica, realizzata con fogli non staccati di carta traforata per stampante, legati doppi con barrette di plastica e coperta di acetato trasparente. Libri unici, prodotti elettronicamente (con stampanti ad aghi) con programmi creati da Grossi. 25x29x3 cm. Condizioni: buono (qualche mancanza al coperchio in acetato). Tabulati di computer su fogli continui forati. Rilegati con fermacampioni. Tutto contenuto in scatola di cartone con coperchio trasparente. Prima edizione. 100 ex. (uno diverso dall'altro). FIRMATO.

[Florence]: self-published, 1989. Quarto (30 × 21 cm). Seven leaves of xerox copies with altogether 16 experimental typographic designs. Stapled to upper left corner. Title page with Grossi's signature and handwritten note: "computer music da programmi di Pietro Grossi '76 - '89" (computer music from programs by Pietro Grossi '76 - '89"). Very good. One of the pioneers of electronic and stochastic music, Grossi began his graphic work in the second half of the 1980s. His graphic works are entitled "Home Art". Grossi experimented with mainframe computers early on and used a personal computer for his graphic experiments. He used the same techniques to create images that he had used for many years on mainframe computers for his sound compositions. As early as 1962, he visited an Olivetti mainframe computer in a bank and was so impressed by its sounds that he continued to explore the possibilities of the new technology.He translated works by Bach, Scarlatti, Paganini, Brahms, Chopin, Stravinsky and Debussy into codes with which it was possible to reproduce the sound sequences. In terms of sound, the results were a far cry from instrumental recordings, but Rossi was initially interested in using the computer as a separate instrument. He soon used random principles to give the computer interpretative possibilities. A further step was to use the computer as a tool for composition. Between 1970 and 1985, he created numerous compositions that made use of the computing power of large computers to translate geometric images and mathematical curves into sound sequences, for example. The graphic sequences of "Home Art" were a continuation of this work. (Cf. Francesco Giomi, The Work of Italian Artist Pietro Grossi: From Early Electronic Music to Computer Art, in: Leonardo , 1995, Vol. 28, No. 1 (1995), pp. 35-39.).
[Florence]: self-published, 1990. Oblong quarto (24.4 × 28 cm). Original printed card wrappers; 12 pp. with experimental typographic designs, patterns, and pictorial abstractions, executed with a dot matrix printer on continuous form paper, folded and tipped into the wrappers. Very good. A unique example of one of the "Home Art Books" which the Italian avant-garde artist produced as one-offs. Pietro Grossi, one of the pioneers of electronic and stochastic music, began his graphic work in the second half of the 1980s. His works, like this computer printout, are entitled "Home Art".

The graphic sequences of "Home Art" were a continuation of this work. For his graphic works, he also used automatic processes to generate structures. The programs written by Grossi contained short instructions that challenged the randomness of the computational processes. A compositional idea was further developed in numerous graphic variations. The computer was to resemble a composer developing variations on a theme. (Cf. Francesco Giomi, The Work of Italian Artist Pietro Grossi: From Early Electronic Music to Computer Art, in: Leonardo , 1995, Vol. 28, No. 1 (1995), pp. 35-39.)As of March 2024, KVK, OCLC can trace only one other holding of a similar artist book by Grossi, a 1999 publication held by MART.
