[Signed] [First Edition] The Book of Imaginary Beings [Signed by Borges] Borges, Jorge Luis, with Margarita Guerrero [Used - Very good] [Hardcover]
2535.18 CAD
A rare signed example of this compelling work of cryptozoology by the Argentinian master: an alphabetical compendium of 120 imaginary beasts culled from various literary and world-historical sources. As in many of his best-known works, Borges here takes an existing literary form--the medieval bestiary--and imbues it with new dimension through a variety of quintessentially Borgesian tactics. These include satire, tonal experiments, and the inclusion of entries that push at the limits of what we might consider fantastical beasts ("An Animal Imagined by Kafka," "Animals in the Form of Spheres," etc.). The result is uniquely hybrid text, as much a work about cultural history and the boundaries of the human imagination as it is about imaginary beings themselves. First English-language edition, following Spanish-language editions of 1957 and 1967. Here newly revised and enlarged by Borges and the translator, Norman Thomas di Giovanni. Signed and dated ("1969") by Borges on the front free endpaper. Octavo (6 x 9.5 in.); 256pp., indexed; maroon cloth boards, in dust jacket. Very good (+) with mild sun fading to the softened spine ends and board perimeters, faint damp stains at base of front board and top of rear board, and one small spot of soiling to the textblock fore-edge. In a fine, price-clipped dust jacket.

935.18 CAD
Near Fine square hardcover in black cowhide leather designed and with twenty-two silkscreens by Sol Lewitt. Covers show a few signs of handling. Colophon states (in embossed round seal text) that "This is one of 50 presentation copies out of series". It is unnumbered, therefore, and not one of the 1500 numbered copies. Scarce thus. SIGNED "Lewitt" in pencil on colophon page. Printed at the Anthoensen Press. Text in English. The slipcase is extant and sturdy and functional but not pretty, as it has 5 or 6 areas where the paper laminate has peeled away from the box, and edges are worn. Further images upon request.

La firma no cuenta con certificado pericial de autenticidad. ESTADO Ejemplar completo. Sobrecubierta con señales de uso, pequeños roces, dobleces y pérdidas menores en bordes y extremos, acordes con su antigüedad. Cubierta interior negra conservada, con la palabra "Troquel" estampada en blanco. Papel ligeramente tostado. Costura y estructura visibles en las fotografías. Firma manuscrita en la hoja de guarda. Se recomienda consultar detenidamente las imágenes, que forman parte de la descripción. RESEÑA Primera edición de uno de los ensayos fundamentales de Jorge Luis Borges sobre la tradición literaria argentina. Escrito con la colaboración de Betina Edelberg, el volumen examina las distintas facetas de Leopoldo Lugones: el modernista, el poeta, el prosista, el narrador, el lector de la cultura clásica y el intelectual comprometido con las violentas transformaciones políticas de su tiempo. La edición reúne asimismo algunos textos anteriores de Borges dedicados a Lugones. La obra ocupa un lugar especialmente significativo dentro de la bibliografía borgeana. Borges mantuvo con Lugones una relación intelectual compleja: discutió su retórica y sus posiciones ideológicas, pero terminó reconociéndolo como una figura decisiva para la constitución de la literatura argentina moderna. Por eso, el libro excede la biografía convencional y funciona como una indagación sobre la lengua literaria, la tradición nacional y el modo en que una obra sobrevive a las contradicciones de su autor. Publicada en Buenos Aires por Ediciones Troquel en 1955, dentro de la colección Diálogos del Presente, esta primera edición consta de 99 páginas y presenta la cubierta diseñada por José Bonomi. Su valor bibliográfico aumenta considerablemente por conservar la sobrecubierta original y, sobre todo, por incluir una firma manuscrita de Jorge Luis Borges en la hoja de guarda. Se trata de una pieza especialmente atractiva para coleccionistas de primeras ediciones argentinas, estudiosos de Borges y Lugones y bibliotecas especializadas en literatura hispanoamericana.

[First Edition] L'ALEPH BORGES JORGE LUIS [Used - Very good] [Hardcover]
213.53 CAD
RARA PRIMA EDIZIONE ITALIANA (ottobre 1959). LEGATURA EDITORIALE CARTONATA CON TITOLI AL PIATTO E AL DORSO, SOVRACCOPERTA CON ILLUSTRAZIONE, VOLUME IN 8°, pp. 230. BIBLIOTECA DI LETTERATURA DIRETTA DA GIORGIO BASSANI - I CLASSICI MODERNI, n° 5. TRADUZIONE DI FRANCESCO TENTORI MONTALTO. "L'Aleph" è una celebre raccolta di racconti dello scrittore argentino Jorge Luis Borges, pubblicata nel 1949. Il racconto eponimo esplora l'infinito attraverso la scoperta di un punto magico e mistico situato in una cantina di Buenos Aires, capace di contenere simultaneamente tutti i luoghi e gli istanti dell'universo. L'opera è considerata un capolavoro della letteratura mondiale per via dei suoi temi filosofici e metafisici. Attraverso l'Aleph, Borges indaga la possibilità di racchiudere l'immensità del cosmo in una singola prospettiva visiva. I racconti interrogano la natura effimera dell'esistenza umana e la continua ricerca di significato. Il nome deriva dalla prima lettera dell'alfabeto ebraico, che nella mistica ebraica rappresenta l'Unità primordiale e divina. La raccolta comprende altri testi fondamentali come L'Immortale e La casa di Asterione. Molti lettori accostano L'Aleph a un'altra pietra miliare dell'autore, Finzioni, per le sue atmosfere labirintiche e intellettuali. **dorso leggermente ingiallito, per il resto condizioni molto buone
