Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. First Edition, Third Printing, February 1993. 2 early Jeanette Winterson novels sold together. Bright, clean & tight copies, unread, in AS NEW condition. WRITTEN ON THE BODY: "A new work of transfixing originality from Jeanette Winterson--'a master of her material,' as Muriel Spark wrote in Vanity Fair, 'a writer in whom talent deeply abides'--and her most beguiling, intensely moving novel to date. WRITTEN ON THE BODY is a love story. And it is, like all Winterson novels, a philosophical meditation, this time on the body: the body as physical phenomenon--blood and bones and organs--and the body as repository of our emotions and souls. The object is a married woman named Louise, and the narrator of the story is her lover, gender undeclared. At once ambiguous and riveting, the narrator's consciousness powers the reader beyond the need to identify its sex, and directly into love itself." [publisher copy] "WRITTEN ON THE BODY charts love with the fresh precision a mapmaker might bring to a new territory. With equally inventive imagery, the book celebrates the sublime joys of physical love. A love story that has no need to tell its name. Fruity and frank, tender and poetic--it's a gem."--Madeleine Kingsley. + THE PASSION (First Vintage International Edition, October 1989): "THE PASSION intertwines the destinies of two remarkable people: the soldier Henri, for eight years the faithful cook who follows Napoleon from the glory of Empire to Russian ruin, and Villanelle, the red-haired daughter of a Venetian boatman whose webbed feet are a quirk of fate and whose several identities are created whole-cloth out of Venice's compound of carnival, chance, and darkness. In Venice, both meet their singular destiny in a combustion of love and politics." [publisher copy] "Recalls Garcia Marquez . . . magical touches dance like highlights over the brilliance of this fairy tale about passion, gambling, madness, and androgynous ecstasy."--Edmund White. Handy & pristine copies w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, square & tight bindings, no creases in spine, both quite presentable.…

Even the simplest pedigree knot, the trefoil, with its three roughly symmetrical lobes, has mathematical as well as artistic beauty. For the religious, Kind Solomon's knot is said to embody the essence of all knowledge. For carpet makers and cloth weavers all over the world, the challenge of the knot lies in the rules of its surprises. Knots can change but they must be well-behaved. An informal knot is a messy knot. Louise and I were held by a single loop of love. The cord passing round our bodies had no sharp twists or sinister turns. Our wrists were not tied and there was no noose about our necks. In Italy in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries a favourite sport was to fasten two fighters together with a strong rope and let t hem beat each other to death. Often it was death because the loser couldn't back off and the victor rarely spared him. The victor kept the rope and tied a knot in it. He had only to swing it through the streets to terrify money from passers-by."--excerpt ; " .chronicles the consuming affair between the narrator, who is given neither name nor gender, and the beloved, a complex and confused married woman" ; black cloth with metallic red lettering, in photographic illustrated dustjacket ; FINE/FINE.
