"As Hecht tells the story, he made a $2,500 bet with Charles MacArthur's millionaire brother, Alfred, that in two days he could write a book that would be critically praised and sell more than twenty thousand copies.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Evolutionary Biology, of which this is the twenty-second volume, continues to offer its readers a wide range of original articles, reviews, and commentaries on evolution, in the broadest sense of that term. The topics of the reviews range from anthropology, molecular evolution, and paleobiology to principles of systematics. In recent volumes, a broad spectrum of articles have appeared on such subjects as asymmetric sexual isolation, biochemical systematics in plants, species selection, DNA hybridization and phylogenetics, modes of evolution in Pleistocene rodents, and development and evolution of the vertebrate limb. We have also attempted to provide a forum for con flicting ideas. Articles such as these, often too long for standard journals, are the material for Evolutionary Biology. The editors continue to solicit manuscripts on an international scale in an effort to see that everyone ofthe many facets of biological evolution is covered. Manuscripts should be sent to anyone of the following: Max K.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine in Near Fine DJ. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Imprint 1922. "Ben Hecht (18941964) is a notable Hollywood screenwriter. He won the first screenplay Oscar for Underworld in 1927, wrote the great screwball comedies Nothing Sacred and His Girl Friday (based on his play with Charles MacArthur, The Front Page), and worked with directors such as Howard Hawks and Alfred Hitchcock.Fantazius Mallare: A Mysterious Oath was first published in 1922 in a limited run intended for private distribution, most of which ended up being seized and destroyed by the authorities. The book is generally described as being a decadent work after the manner of Joris-Karl Huysmans' À rebours although this is a lazy comparison. A novel of decadence and mystic existentialism, Fantazius Mallare is a story of a mad reclusea genius sculptor and painter who is at war with reason. Rather than commit suicide, his doting madness dictates that he must revolt against all evidence of life that exists outside himself. He destroys all of his work and then seeks out a woman who will devote herself to his Omnipotence. What follows is a glorious trek into a horrifying enlightening insanity."--John Coulthart.Wallace Smith provided the illustrations for the novel, which resulted in a $1,000 fine for obscenity in U.S. District Court for both Hecht and Smith for his ten fantastic, Beardleyesque drawings, several of them depicting the sterile orgies of the novel's deluded, reclusive hero.
