But moreover, they lead the reader deep into history by showing the artifacts, weapons, uniforms and pieces of equipment that have survived after more than two centuries.

He continued:"I don't think impotence has been exploited in the past - my little exploration is that whole zone of being that has always been set aside by artists as something unusable - as something by definition incompatible with art." ***These four stories were first written in French soon after the Second World War and are characterized by Beckett's concern with the helpless individual consciousness. At the same time, they are rich in verbal and situational humour and offer the reader a fascinating insight into preoccupations which have remained constant throughout the work of a writer who has transformed the art of the novel and the contemporary theatre.'

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Near Fine dj. First British Edition. [book has a couple of very slightly scrunched lower page corners, no other significant wear; the jacket is very nice-looking, with just a touch of soiling to the rear panel]. The first publication in English of the controversial final novel by this French poet/jazz musician/novelist/critic/and more (1920-1959), a surrealistic tale about a psychiatrist who "takes what turns out to be a lifelong holiday on an isolated coast," where he "discovers a primitive village with, alongside traditional wonders and horrors, a Buckminster Fuller church. The animals are almost human (a stallion is crucified) and the humans are almost -- if not completely -- animal." It gets weirder from there, with the psychatrist delivering a set of triplets to a woman living in a lonely house on a cliff, whose subsequent "curious upbringing" leads to them being locked in cages by their mother "to prevent them from flying away like birds.". Illustrated by (dj design) Lawrence Edwards (illustrator).…

He was one of the foremost artists of the surrealist, avant-garde, and Dadaist movements and an influential figure in early 20th century art. The National Observer suggested that, "of the artistic generation whose daring gave birth to Twentieth Century Art, Cocteau came closest to being a Renaissance man." Though his body of work encompassed many different mediums, Cocteau insisted on calling himself a poet, classifying the great variety of his works - poems, novels, plays, essays, drawings, films - as "poésie", "poésie de roman", "poésie de thêatre", "poésie critique", "poésie graphique" and "poésie cinématographique"'. (Wiki) ***'Jean Cocteau has for long been known as one of the most outstanding figures of contemporary literature. His films, his plays, his books, have won him international renown, but it is only lately that his stature as a modern novelist has been appreciated. In 1955 "Children of the Game" was first published in England, winning instant and wide acclaim. "The Impostor" is set in France at the outset of the 1914-1918 war, evoking the atmosphere and environment of that period through the reactions and interactions of the characters. The author has not only recreated an era, but has also provided an unforgettable story. The realism and lyricism of Jean Cocteau's style are combined to form a classic of the twentieth century.'

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First American Edition. (no dust jacket) [good sound copy, lightly shelfworn, minor external soiling, spine cloth a bit faded, discoloration in gutters, one-time owner's "Property of" statement handwritten on front endpaper, and the same person's signature and date on the page following the dedication page]. Novel about a young Frenchwoman who finds herself stranded, at the age of eighteen, in a remote South American port; she manages to make her way to Panama, where she takes up prostitution as a means of earning the money for her passage back to France. (You can stop thinking about Marlo Thomas now.) Her activities get her mixed up with some of the complicated international aspects of the Canal Zone, and at various times she encounters a Japanese spy, a German agent, and an American Secret Service man. One contemporary reviewer commented that the author "lays much stress on the importance of the Canal Zone to the United States of America [and other countries, and yet] one cannot help feeling that [he] regards the whole thing as just a little ludicrous and that he is privately pointing the finger of scorn at men who can allow their time to be taken up by such immense trivialities." Originally published in France in 1931 as "Marie Galante" (although in this translation she's called Chéri, which was also the title of the British edition), the book served as the basis for a 1934 American film adaptation under that title starring Spencer Tracy and Ketti Gallian, and that same year was adapted by its author for a stage musical (with music by Kurt Weill). (In the film version, not surprisingly, the heroine is not a prostitute; it was released in the latter half of 1934, so the Hays Office wouldn't be having any of that!).…

All the items except the cut-out and the last card (in which he gives the price of a painting) are damp-stained, with part of the text of the letter illegible. One card in French. The first card, from 1982, thanks Ives for payment for 'watercolors'. The cut-out, in red paper, is roughly 10 x 10 cm. Intricately-cut, it depicts a long-leaved plant in a basket on legs. Although found with the other items, there is no indication that it is by Duramel. Ives made the news in 2000, when his extensive collection of paintings by L. S. Lowry was put up for sale. …
