WHITE, E.B
        THE POINTS OF MY COMPASS
      New York Harper & Row , 1962. New York Harper & Row , 1962. First edition. Original black quarter cloth over grey boards with gilt title to the spine in (supplied) dustwrapper. Author's presentation copy, inscribed to friend and fellow author, Elizabeth Taylor, on the front end paper, "Elizabeth love and a Merry Christmas Katherine and Andy / North Brooklin, Maine". A very good copy, with a faded spine which has a couple of internal repaired closed tears to the joints and a little wear to the spine ends. In a very good dustwrapper. Elizabeth Taylor, the critically regarded British novelist, described by Kingsley Amis as "One of the best English novelists born this century", whose writing career was forced into relative obscurity as a consequence of coinciding with the rise of her more famous namesake, the American actress. Her style was in the mould of Ivy Compton-Burnett, Barbara Pym and Elizabeth Bowen, and has only recently been recognised as one of the important authors of the twentieth century. She wrote twelve novels and a clutch of story collections, most of which were originally published in The New Yorker, where E.B. White's wife was her first editor. Taylor rarely travelled to American so did not often meet White but they became good friends via a long and frequent correspondence.

Los pobres pescadores que salen del Guadalete hacia el mar son los mismos que arribaban a Tarsis en busca de oro y plata y estaño. El mar resume la historia y el mar compendia el sueño. ¿Qué escenario mejor podría soñarse para el encuentro amoroso de Venus y Príapo que el escenario del mar de Cádiz? Uno de los más formidables poemas amorosos de la literatura universal, de ese Diálogo entre Venus y Príapo, acontece en esa bahía: «Amor! La noche se desvae. / Nos baña el mar. (Oh luz! El mundo canta. / Cae la luna. El viento.)» pp. 14 Stampato dall'Arte Grafica Bartolomé U.

BENTLEY, Nicolas
        I don't see how these nurses can fail to win if Selwyn puts his foot down as firmly as he did with the dockers
      , 1962. 1962. Sheet size: 192 × 140 mm. Pen and black ink with blue pencil crayon on wove paper. Stamped on verso for publication in the Daily Mail, 23 May 1962, and with pencil reproduction instructions recto. The Macmillan government's "pay pause" continued to sour labour relations. A month later Selwyn Lloyd, the Chancellor, was to lose his job in the "night of the long knives." The cartoons and illustrations of Nicolas Bentley (1907-1978) were part of the warp and weft of English popular culture in the 1950s and 60s. Never savage, though often waspishly accurate and exuding an urbane air of amusement at the foibles of his fellows, Bentley's work was familiar to the public from a wide variety of publications. Between 1952 and 1954 he drew regular cartoons for the weekly Time and Tide, and after that for the daily News Chronicle. Between 1958 and 1962 he drew topical cartoons for the Daily Mail under the title "Watch My Line." He also drew many portraits, in black and white line, of famous people, for various papers, including over sixty for the Sunday Telegraph, which began publication in February 1961.

Bien complet de l'eau-forte originale (non signée) de Hans Bellmer en frontispice. ÉDITION DE LUXE TIRÉE A 700 EXEMPLAIRES SEULEMENT, SUR VELIN D'ARCHES PUR CHIFFON, AVEC EN FRONTISPICE UNE GRAVURE ORIGINALE DE HANS BELLMER. CELUI-CI PORTE LE N°12 ET EST UN DES QUELQUES EXEMPLAIRES (MOINS D'UNE CINQUANTAINE A PRIORI) RELIÉS PLEIN CUIR BLANC (la grande majorité des exemplaires de cette édition ayant été reliés en plein toile moirée ivoire). Ce volume a été achevé d'imprimer le 10 juillet 1962. "Jeune bourgeois, ouvrier laborieux, et toi, haut fonctionnaire de cette République, je vous permets de jeter un regard sur le con d'Irène, ô délicat con d'Irène !" Quand, à la fin des années vingt (1928), est publié anonymement ce petit ouvrage, les foudres de la censure se déchaînent. La société française n'est pas encore prête à reconnaître comme littérature une ode passionnée au sexe de la femme, "ce lieu de délice et d'ombre, ce patio d'ardeur, dans ses limites nacrées, la belle image du pessimisme. Ô fente, fente humide et douce, cher abîme vertigineux". Qui se cache derrière ces pages sulfureuses, jouant de la critique bourgeoise et de la création surréaliste échevelée ? C'est, on l'apprend après quelques années et quelques procès évités, un jeune homme en guerre contre la morale et la bourgeoisie qui se fait appeler Aragon. Aujourd'hui que nous sommes revenus de la provocation, que reste-t-il du Con d'Irène ? Un mystère tout aussi grand et profond, c'est-à-dire une vraie réflexion et une religieuse fascination pour l'antre de la femme. "Si petit et si grand ! C'est ici que tu es à ton aise, homme en fin digne de ton nom." Denis Gombert Cette édition de Club (réédition de l'édition donnée par Jean-Jacques Pauvert en 1952 avec la même eau-forte), savamment servie par une mise en page efficace, un format agréable et cette savoureuse eau-forte d'Hans Bellmer, est un petit met érotique recherché des bibliophiles, plus accessible que l'édition précitée. BEL EXEMPLAIRE EN RELIURE DE LUXE. [Attributes: Hard Cover]
