Windham (1920-2010) collaborated with Williams in 1946 on the play You Touched Me! and the two enjoyed a close friendship for many years. Their relationship had soured by the time Williams published his memoirs in 1975. Windham, who was clearly offended by Williams book, retaliated by publishing his correspondence with Williams the following year. It contains some of the writer's most revealing letters. In 1989 Windham published a brutal look at Williams' later years, Lost Friendships.This deluxe copy signed by both Williams and Windham. Crandell A43.1.a

Roeg, Nicolas (director); David Bowie (starring)
        The Man Who Fell to Earth (Original UK three-sheet poster for the 1976 film)
      London: British Lion Film Corporation, 1976. UK illustrated three-sheet poster for the 1976 film. An extremely uncommon poster, and an interesting interpretation of the film, in that it leans more toward Bowie's "Station to Station" persona than it does the film itself. Then again, Bowie was also dressing a bit like this in the film--which leads one to wonder whether he was living in the real world, or the film, or both.40 x 80 inches, folded. Near Fine.

Opera eccezionale per bellezza, con la magnifica traduzione eseguita da Quasimodo d'alcuni brani, i più a suo giudizio significativi, del capolavoro omerico accompagnata dalla altrettanto stupefacente interpretazione grafica del grande Maestro Giorgio De Chirico. Edizione prestigiosa, destinata a durare nel tempo ed a lasciare traccia nel panorama editoriale italiano del XX secolo. In condizioni perfette. Una menzione merita pure la stupenda placca bronzea del Veroi, plastica riproduzione di un Achille pronto a vendicare il morto Patroclo, nell'atto di lanciare il terribile grido di guerra che terrorizzava le schiere nemiche. Affascinante insieme.

Spiral bound printed wrappers. Fine. John Baldessari, born National City, California, 17 June 1931, is well known for using disparate elements of everyday life in his photographically generated works of art. In this, one of his earliest printed artist's books, he juxtaposes three images in a linear format using two photographic portraits of a younger and older man facing each other with a photograph of a common household object between them. Each leaf repeats the same portraits but illustrates a different "murder weapon": a kitchen knife, a wooden board, a magnifying glass, a book of matches, pushpins, etc. Baldessari lives and works in Santa Monica, California.

        El ojo del huracán
      Pomaire 1976 - 315pp. Una feroz guerra subterránea y el más audaz de los atentados. Sean Dillon es un asesino. Quizá su atracción por la violencia surgiera de la convicción política cuando formó parte del IRA. Pero ya ha perdido las referencias y los escrúpulos. Dillon es un sicario, un carísimo sicario. Tan caro que sólo un magnate iraquí del petróleo puede pagarle. Son los tiempos de la guerra del Golfo, y un magnicidio puede afectar el equilibrio de los aliados. Se trata de un extraordinario desafío, que sólo Dillon puede abordar. Y él mismo fijará el blanco: el primer ministro británico, John Major. La minuciosa preparación del golpe, los ciegos esfuerzos del servicio secreto por evitarlo, forman el nudo de una obra tan inteligente como trepidante. Tela editorial con sobrecubierta

MENOTTI, Gian Carlo 1911-2007
        Two solo songs from the composer's cantata Landscapes and Remembrances. Autograph musical manuscripts in piano-vocal score. Signed "G. Menotti." Ca. 1976
      - Folio (ca. 313 x 237 mm). Unbound. "The abandoned mansion (South Carolina) for contralto." 1f. (title), 5, [i] (blank) pp. "Farewell at a train station in Vermont (for tenor)." 8 pp. Notated in pencil on 12-stave printed music paper with "G Schirmer Royal Brand No. 54. " printed at lower margin.Small check mark in blue pencil to upper corner of each page of "The abandoned mansion." First measure of "Farewell" with a bass drum cue. Minor erasures throughout. Slightly worn; small rust stains from a paper clip to upper margin of outer pages, slightly affecting one letter of a tempo marking. Landscapes and Remembrances, a cantata for soloists, chorus, and orchestra to texts by Menotti, was first performed at Uihlein Hall in Milwaukee on May 14, 1976, with Judith Blegen (soprano), Ani Yervanian (contralto), Vahan Khanzadian (tenor), Gary Kendall (baritone), and the Milwaukee Symphony and Bel Canto Chorus, James Keeley, conducting."The nine-part Landscapes and Remembrances is a set of musical impressions drawn from the composer's life, ranging from his arrival in America as a teenager to his discovery of South Carolina, where he founded the Spoleto USA Festival in 1977. The structure of Landscapes consists of alternating choruses and orchestral songs, although several of the choral sections make use of solo voices as well. The titles in general reflect the geography of remembrance at the root of each. "The Abandoned Mansion," the first song in Landscapes, is "a brooding piece in E-flat minor. infused with the past. Its constantly arcing melodic lines are supported by persistent tremolo figures that give way only briefly in the middle of the song to sustained chords--a section of quasi-recitative. The key to the song lies in these words: 'A visitor to the South is an intruder into the reigns of ghosts'."Farewell at a Train Station in Vermont," the final song, is "concerned with love, but this time with the bitterness of parting. 'In everyone's life', Menotti has commented, 'there is a farewell never forgotten, the pain of which never heals', a sentiment he had previously expressed in his libretto for Barber's opera Vanessa. It is evident that this section of Landscapes is. rooted in actuality. Over a solemn adagio figure, the solo voice sets the stage for this short scena: 'The train is late. It rains as it must when lovers part forever. Without a word we pace the empty platform, measuring our protracted agony with uncharted steps'." John Ardoin: The Stages of Menotti, pp. 129-131.Menotti's autograph musical manuscripts are very rare to the market.

This book concerns the Aborigines of the Mann and Musgrave ranges who lived in one of the world's most arid and desolate regions - the study of a people isolated from every outside influence. Dr Mountford shows how the landforms of the tribal areas are interwoven in their spiritual lives and how they inspired a cherished body of myths, legends rituals and ceremonies. These observations are augmented by a collection of drawings and photographs principally taken during his own field researches and is closely integrated with the text. Please note, that this book contains references to and images of people who have died, along with images of sacred rituals which were intended to be kept secret, including that on the front cover. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people may wish to seek guidance from elders before purchasing or requesting images from this volume.
