Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz Polish: sta'iswaf ig'nats vit'kvit; 24 February 1885 � 18 September 1939 commonly known as "Witkacy" was a Polish poet playwright novelist painter photographer and philosopher. Witkiewicz lived through the Russian Revolution in St Petersburg. He claimed that he worked out his philosophical principles during an artillery barrage and that when the Revolution broke out he was elected political commissar of his regiment. His later works would show his fear of social revolution and foreign invasion often couched in absurdist language. He had begun to support himself through portrait painting and continued to do so on his return to Zakopane in Poland. He soon entered into a major creative phase setting out his principles in New Forms in Painting and Introduction to the Theory of Pure Form in the Theatre. He associated with a group of "formist" artists in the early 1920s and wrote most of his plays during this period. Of about forty plays written by Witkiewicz between 1918 and 1925 twenty-one survive and only Jan Maciej Karol Hellcat met with any public success during the author's lifetime. The original Polish manuscript of The Crazy Locomotive was also lost; the play back-translated from two French versions was not published until 1962. The University of Washington Press, paperback‎

Mails from NYC usually within 12 hours. ; Mermaid Dramabook Series; 8.3 x 5 x 0.8 inches; 306 pages; nBook Description In this classic anthology of French drama Stephen S. Stanton has assembled the nineteenth century's finest "well-made plays": The Glass of Water and A Peculiar Position by Eugene Scribe; Camille by Alexander Dumas fils; Olympe's Marriage by Emile Augier; A Scrap of Paper by Victorien Sardou. In an incisive introduction Stanton fully diagrams these works and their seminal influence on modern theater.

‎Edie: American Girl‎

‎New York: Grove Press. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1982. First Paperback Edition. First Printing. Soft Cover. 0802134106 . Publisher's glossy wraps. Illustrated with B&W photographs. When Edie was first published it quickly became an international bestseller and then took its place among the classic books about the 1960s. Edie Sedgwick exploded into the public eye like a comet. She seemed to have it all: she was aristocratic and glamorous vivacious and young Andy Warhol's superstar. But within a few years she flared out as quickly as she had appeared and before she turned twenty-nine she was dead from a drug overdose. In a dazzling tapestry of voices--family friends lovers rivals--the entire meteoric trajectory of Edie Sedgwick's life is brilliantly captured. And so is the Pop Art world of the '60s: the sex drugs fashion music--the mad rush for pleasure and fame. All glitter and flash on the outside it was hollow and desperate within--like Edie herself and like her mentor Andy Warhol. Alternately mesmerizing tragic and horrifying this book shattered many myths about the '60s experience in America. Light creases on front cover and spine else fine. NEAR FINE. . Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall. vi 455 pp . Grove Press paperback‎
