Sobre este item
Boston, MA: David R. Godine Publisher, 1977. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/No Dust Jacket, As Issued.. Boston, MA: David R. Godine Publisher, 1977. Hardcover. Fine/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. 178 pages. Retrospective collection of short stories. The single most beautiful book-production of Jose Donoso's work in English. Limited Slipcased Edition of 200 numbered and signed copies. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular trade edition. Published as a hardcover original only. The Limited Edition has the same ISBN as the regular trade edition. The Limited Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by David R. Godine: Regular-sized volume format. Green cloth boards with gilt titles embossed on the spine, as issued. Text by Jose Donoso. Matching hard board slipcase. Printed on archival, thick uncoated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. It's a beautiful book all in all. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in its Limited Edition format, Jose Donoso's "Cuentos" in felicitous English translations by Andree Conrad. Nine short stories in the author's characteristically Latin-American/Modernist/Post-Modernist identifiable style. "Extraordinarily sophisticated, in perfect control of time dissolves, contradictory voices, gritty realism, and hallucinatory figures" (Publisher's blurb). As such, this volume is a worthy companion to Jose Donoso's greatest work, "That Obscene Bird of Night", as well as a brilliant introduction to ALL of his other work now available in English. An absolute "must-have" title for Jose Donoso collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition of 200 numbered and signed copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Back Limitation Page. It is very boldly and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen by Jose Donoso. This title is a great collection. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The internal pages are NOT browned. The slipcase is NOT worn or soiled ("Near Fine"). Precedes and should NOT be confused with the regular trade edition. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest writers of rthe 20th century. A fine copy. . ISBN 0879231971.

Sobre Modern Rare
ModernRare.com is exclusively an online bookstore. We believe this is the best way to satisfy our customers' expectations. Unlike an open bookstore, where books are routinely handled and may deteriorate, we guarantee the condition of our books as described. We specialize in modern firsts, photography, the arts, and erotica. You will also find a fine selection of signed copies, limited editions, and memorabilia because our ultimate goal is to deepen the pleasure of collecting books. We carry titles that we ourselves like and believe in -- books that we think will excite, enchant, and endure.
