Joyce, James, Anglo-Irish writer (1882-1941).
        Autograph letter signed. Paris, 9. II. 1927.
      1927. Large 4to. 1 p. Letterhead "2, Square Robiac / 182, rue de Grenelle". With autogr. envelope. To the young American musician Arthur Laubenstein in Nice, who had been the teacher of his son Giorgio at the Schola Cantorum in Paris, thanking for congratulations on the occasion of his 45th birthday: "Many thanks for your kind telegram on my birthday. It was very good of you to remember me [...] Have you settled down altogether in Nice or is there any likelihood of your passing through Paris at any time: We might go south but my wife does not like Nice though I found it quite pleasant. We spent the summer at Ostende. Giorgio has taken up singing again. It is now fixed that he certainly has not a bass but a baritone or robust tenor. Lucia [his daughter] has danced in public here and in Brussels and is starting to teach. Tuohy was here for about two months (it seemed two years) to finish my face which will adorn the May salon. Thank goodness he left today. We still go to the Trianon where the female dog Cascade continues to proliferate. My eyesight seems to be getting better lentissimamente. Did you set any of those verses? I enclose copy of a protest issued on my birthday to the French, English and American press [...]". - The "protest" against the American publisher Samuel Roth (not included) was supported by 160 signatories who condemned Roth's unauthorised and castrated version of the "Ulysses" as a serial novel in his magazine "Two Worlds". Later that same year, Joyce's collection of poems "Pomes Penyeach" appeared (with Shakespeare and Co.), as did the first German translation of "Ulysses". Apparently unpublished.

        Autograph letter signed. Moscow, 23. II. 1927.
      1927. Large 8vo. 1½ pp. Written in red ink. A long letter to his third wife, Natalja mentioning the making of a suprematistic movie, organising a shipment of his paintings and his trip to Poland: "[...] I'm totally upset now, more nervous than ever before, you realize that in everything I do. I have ordered a box, for example, to put some paintings in, and thoroughly took the wrong measures; afterwards I've ordered a second one, and was also completely mistaken. Finally, I managed it with pain and misery, wrapped in the paintings and will ship it to the censorship office for Friday, and if I manage to do so I will buy a ticket, which costs 35 rubels to the border and another 35 rubels from there to Warsaw [...] My golden one, my beloved one, you're sleeping and can't hear the tender words I'm whispering to you, but I repeat them every single night when I go to bed [...] I have to hurry to the film studios. We are about to produce a suprematist movie. We have to work under pressure, as we will be joined by various film animators [...]" (transl. from Russian). Malewitsch über sich.

Smith, Thorne (1892-1934)
        Dream's End
      New York: Robert M McBride and Company, 1927 342 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with front board and spine lettered in gilt in original pictorial jacket. First edition.Meandering labyrinth of a story about a New York advertising executive who leaves his job in the city to write poetry in a hut by the sea. Although entranced by the ocean and the miles of sand and the salt marshes, David finds himself caught in the coils of his attraction to two women: Hilda, "the mate to his flame, the answering spark," but despairing and fragile (and married), and Scarlet, seductive and available (but morally rotten). Hilda's husband is a sadistic libertine whose subtle cruelties are slowly killing his wife; a situation that so unsettles the poet's wits that he falls prey to a heavily symbolic dream obsession. Smith successfully establishes a surreal voice and includes wonderful passages describing the mad moods of the sea and notes and observations about life and the hereafter, all waiting to be discovered sparkling in the sand throughout the story. The ax of a sharp and discerning editor might have turned Smith's efforts into a compelling Gothic romance, but, alas, the story gets lost in a shifting fog of dreams and fantasies, and never emerges fully formed.Dream's End is a radical departure from Thorne Smith's humorous novels, and was, in fact, Smith's first book rejected by publishers until hisTopper novels became successful. Fans of Thorne Smith are likely to be intrigued by this book for its Gothic nature and for an unexpected glimpse at a more serious side of the author.Condition:Light rubbing to binding, offsetting toning to end-leaves, small bookseller's ticket on rear pastedown. Jacket price clipped, spine toned, some edge chips and tears, some thumb soiling else a very good to fine copy in a better than very good jacket.

      London: Methuen, 1927. First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. A lovely First Edition of the third book in A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh series. With burgundy cloth with gold titling and a gold imprint of Christopher Robin on the front cover, the book is in fine condition but for darkening on the spine and wear at the edges. With gold gilt top edge and pink endpapers, the book is very square and solid and beautiful. It is protected by the original dustjacket that shows soiling and darkening and with small pieces missing from the ends of the spine and crease lines. Overall a very special book. It's hard to believe that 80+ years have gone by since this book first arrived from the publisher.

      Mysl', Leningrad 1927 - 3-168 pp. 18x13 cm. In original illustrated wrappers by Georgy Fitingof. Lacks half-title, small tears of the spine and few damp stains. Otherwise a very good copy. This is the first separate edition of anything by Joyce in Russian. First almost full edition of Dubliners (without The Sisters, An Encounter, A Mother, Grace). Soviet readers first heard of James Joyce in the 1920s, and at the same time first translations were made. First appearance of excerpts of Ulysses in Russian was in 1925. But the very first - «The Counterparts» - came out before that, it was printed in literary magazine in 1924 (Russian translation was Rabiy bunt, i.e. The Revolt of the Slaves). («The Reception of James Joyce in Europe»). WorldCat locates only 2 copies. [Attributes: First Edition; Soft Cover]

Joyce, James, Anglo-Irish writer (1882-1941).
        Autograph letter signed.
      Paris, 9. II. 1927. - Large 4to. 1 p. Letterhead "2, Square Robiac / 182, rue de Grenelle". With autogr. envelope. To the young American musician Arthur Laubenstein in Nice, who had been the teacher of his son Giorgio at the Schola Cantorum in Paris, thanking for congratulations on the occasion of his 45th birthday: "Many thanks for your kind telegram on my birthday. It was very good of you to remember me [.] Have you settled down altogether in Nice or is there any likelihood of your passing through Paris at any time: We might go south but my wife does not like Nice though I found it quite pleasant. We spent the summer at Ostende. Giorgio has taken up singing again. It is now fixed that he certainly has not a bass but a baritone or robust tenor. Lucia [his daughter] has danced in public here and in Brussels and is starting to teach. Tuohy was here for about two months (it seemed two years) to finish my face which will adorn the May salon. Thank goodness he left today. We still go to the Trianon where the female dog Cascade continues to proliferate. My eyesight seems to be getting better lentissimamente. Did you set any of those verses? I enclose copy of a protest issued on my birthday to the French, English and American press [.]". - The "protest" against the American publisher Samuel Roth (not included) was supported by 160 signatories who condemned Roth's unauthorised and castrated version of the "Ulysses" as a serial novel in his magazine "Two Worlds". Later that same year, Joyce's collection of poems "Pomes Penyeach" appeared (with Shakespeare and Co.), as did the first German translation of "Ulysses". Apparently unpublished.
