Zustand: GOOD. First printing. Originally published in 1942 under the title 'Minha Vida de Menina' this book is the diary kept by the author, Helena Morley, when she was between the ages of twelve and fifteen (1893-1895), and living in Diamantina, a small diamond mining town in southeastern Brazil. She describes her homework, her love of parades and dresses, her father who could scarcely make a living in the mines, and her most beloved grandmother. Pulitzer award-winning poet, Elizabeth Bishop began the translation as a 'labor of love' in 1952 shortly after arriving in Brazil, spending three years to the project as a way to master the Portuguese language and learn more about Brazilian culture. "The more I read the book the better I liked it. The scenes and events it described were odd, remote, and long ago, and yet fresh, sad, funny, and eternally true. The longer I stayed on in Brazil the more Brazilian the book seemed, yet much of it could have happened in any small provincial town or village, and at almost any period of historyat least before the arrival of the automobile and the moving-picture theatre."(Elizabeth Bishop) Includes a long introduction by Bishop, in which - among other things - she describes meeting then 76 year old Alice.

Zustand: BUONO USATO. Storie ITALIANO IL LIBRO È USATO, PERTANTO POTREBBE PRESENTARE LIEVI DIFETTI/IMPERFEZIONI. LA FOTO CORRISPONDE AL LIBRO IN VENDITA. Nella città brasiliana di Diamantina, tra il 1893 e il 1895, l'adolescente Helena annota con cura le sue giornate, i suoi pensieri e le storie - bizzarre e toccanti - della piccola comunità mineraria che la circonda. Di fronte a lei si muove una popolosa famiglia sottoposta all'indiscussa e benevola autorità della nonna, mentre la vita procede tra amori, miracoli, drammi e incontenibili gioie. Sono cronache di vita quotidiana che la giovane autrice racconta con un misto di stupore infantile e sorprendente consapevolezza. Pubblicato nel 1942, il libro otterrà in patria un clamoroso successo, replicato pochi anni dopo dall'edizione francese e quindi da quella inglese, curata dalla poetessa Elizabeth Bishop. Con la sua scrittura semplice ma straordinariamente precisa, "La mia vita da bambina" si offre oggi come un esempio di realismo magico ante litteram, affollato di personaggi indimenticabili, per i quali, a lettura conclusa, non si può non provare nostalgia.

The present collection offers a window into the literary world of American poet and humorist Ogden Nash (19021971). It is comprised of 239 volumes published between 1886 and 1971, among which are numerous presentation and association copies. All books in the present collection come from the shared personal library of Ogden and Frances Nash. The collection spans poetry, humor, light verse, and literary criticism, and includes a significant number of first and limited editions, often in original bindings or dust jackets. Of particular note are six books inscribed by Nash to his wife, Frances (including five authored by Nash, one of which is in an "Author's Copy" half-leather binding). Included in the collection are 59 works by Nash, three of which feature edits to the text in Nash's hand. Twenty-seven of these Nash publications are Author's copies bound in half-leather. There are an additional 48 volumes bearing inscriptions to Nash from other authors and poets, most notably twelve volumes inscribed by S.J. Perelman. Among the 132 uninscribed volumes included here, 45 bear Ogden Nash's ownership inscription (10 bear the ownership inscription of Frances Nash). The number and range of authorial inscriptions represented in the present collections reflect Nash's wide-ranging literary friendships and professional associations. Notable among these are twelve warmly inscribed titles by humorist S.J. Perelman, whose acerbic wit is on display in a series of affectionate, playful, and sometimes satirical inscriptions to both Nash and his wife, Frances. These volumes also reflect Perelman and Nash's shared experiences in Hollywood and the literary scene of mid-century America. Other highlights include inscriptions from John Betjeman, Christopher Morley, E.C. Bentley, A.P. Herbert, David McCord, William Plumer Fowler, and Holger Lundbergh, among otherseach evidencing Nash's influence and the esteem in which he was held across literary and cultural circles in the U.S. and the U.K. Of particular note are the six books personally inscribed by Ogden Nash to his wife, Frances, often composed in his characteristic rhymed style. These inscriptions reflect a deep relationship of tenderness, humor, and enduring partnership. The collection also includes school prize books awarded to Nash in the 1910s, including works by Matthew Arnold, Robert Burns, and Aeschylus, many bound in gilt-tooled leather and bearing formal prize inscriptions from St. George's School. These early items chart the poet's formative years and offer rare provenance tied to his intellectual development. 1399573. Special Collections.
