Inspired by Samuel Foote's poem, 'The Grand Panjandrum', The Object Lesson presents a stunning series of seemingly random and unrelated events. A missing artificial limb, ghostly spectres and the statue of Corrupted Endeavour all have a place in this enigmatic tale, which combines elements of French surrealism, Japanese haiku and lots of good fun. With its humorous obscurity and puzzling intriques, The Object Lesson delights and provokes.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Edward Gorey is one of the most renowned cartoonists of our time. His distinctive and unsettling work has appeared on many New Yorker covers, and in almost a hundred successful books of his own. He has also illustrated books by John Updike, T.S. Eliot, Edward Lear and Samuel Beckett. 'The dark, appallingly funny works of Edward Gorey are finally being published in Britain. Not before time. A writer and artist of genius.' Independent on Sunday 'Malevolent and brilliant.' Big Issue

First edition, first printing. Original green cloth with gilt titles to the upper board, in dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout with Gorey's atmospheric pen and ink drawings. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the gilt titles a touch rubbed. The faintly toned contents are clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Compete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that is a touch faded to the spine and with a few tiny spots to the front panel. There are short closed tears to the top edge of the front and rear panels which have been repaired to the underside with two small pieces of tape, and another short closed tear to the bottom edge of the front panel (without repair). Not price clipped (13s 6d to the bottom of the front flap). A classic example of Gorey's quasi-Victorian, morbidly humorous illustrated books. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers. Artikel-Nr. 22314
