Drakulic Slavenka
Il letto di Frida
br. Un mattino di luglio Frida Kahlo si sveglia nel suo letto in casa dei genitori. Ha subito da poco la trentaduesima operazione, l'amputazione della gamba destra. Prova ad alzarsi, ma non ci riesce. Il suo corpo è segnato ovunque da cicatrici: sulle gambe, sulle braccia, sulla pancia, sulla schiena. Aveva sei anni quando un mattino si era svegliata con la febbre alta. Poi era arrivato il dolore alla gamba, come se un grosso animale l'avesse morsa e non volesse riaprire le mascelle. I medici dissero che era poliomielite. Frida restò zoppa. Fino a quando, il 17 settembre del 1925, diciottenne, un incidente d'autobus completò l'opera di distruzione del suo corpo. Costretta da allora su un letto a baldacchino tra dolori costanti, cominciò a popolare il suo mondo di fantasmi, a dipingere l'infermità e l'isolamento. La scrittrice Slavenka Drakulic ha saputo raccontare la tormentata esistenza di Frida Kahlo a partire dalla fine, ripercorrendo in un flusso di pensieri l'infanzia, la gioventù, gli anni del matrimonio, l'amore ossessivo per il pittore Diego Rivera, i tradimenti, la continua lotta con il proprio corpo, la forza onirica e visionaria della sua arte, il fuoco, cupo e luminosissimo, in cui visse e si spense una pittrice straordinaria.

Drakulic Slavenka
L'accusata
br. Una giovane donna, di cui non conosciamo il nome, è sotto processo con l'accusa infamante di aver ucciso la madre. L'imputata però non si difende, non parla, ascolta, riflette e, soprattutto, ricorda. È così che il lettore, attraverso il suo lucido flusso di coscienza, viene man mano a conoscenza delle circostanze che l'hanno portata all'omicidio. Con profondità e acutezza Slavenka Drakuli ci accompagna nel cuore del rapporto madre-figlia, nei meccanismi di dipendenza, attaccamento e identificazione. E allo stesso tempo con la sua lingua vorticosa risucchia il lettore nel mondo della violenza famigliare e del suo rigoroso silenzio, lo pone di fronte alla paura del giudizio sociale e alla vergogna provata dalla vittima che ama il suo carnefice e preferisce ucciderlo piuttosto che denigrarlo. Un viaggio che sembra senza fine né speranza e che forse ha un'unica via d'uscita, quella che pagina dopo pagina la protagonista ci permette di comprendere...

Extraordinary in scope and power vivid in its sense of wholesale human waste unceasing in its rich compassion An American Tragedy stands as Theodore Dreiser's supreme achievement.

Chains: Lesser Novels and Stories
425 pages. Small octavo 7 3/4" x 5 1/2" bound in original publisher's dark blue cloth with lettering to spine and script to front cover in original jacket. First edition. After the publication of his novel An American Tragedy 1925 Theodore Dreiser was generally considered the United States' greatest living author. He received early encouragement from the influential critic H. L. Mencken and his novel Sister Carrie 1900 enjoyed a warm critical reception in England though its poor sales in the United States drove Dreiser to clinical depression. Dreiser wrote thirty-one short stories and many of these were revised and collected in two volumes: Free and Other Stories 1918 and Chains 1927. Dreiser pioneered Naturalism in the United States along with Stephen Crane Frank Norris and James T. Farrell all of whom maintained that men and women had very little agency in their lives and that their fate was determined largely by such ungovernable forces as biology economics and society. Short stories included in Chains are "Sancturary" "The Hand" "Chains" "St Columbia and the River" "Convention" "Khat" "Typhoon" "The Old Neighborhood" "Phantom Gold" "Marriage for One" "Fulfillment" "The Victor" "The Shadow" "The Mercy of God" and "The Price Who Was a Thief".

589 pages. Royal octavo 9 1/2" x 6 1/4" bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with black lettering spine over red boards lettered in gilt. <br />Dawn the journalist turned novelist Theodore Dreiser's brutally candid autobiography of his first nineteen years 1871-1890 was composed between 1912 and 1915 but withheld by Dreiser due to his misgivings about the potential impact of its frank revelations of adolescent sexuality daring even by today's standards. On its eventual publication in 1931 critics recognized the book as an American classic comparing it to Rousseau's Confessions and The Education of Henry Adams. The new Black Sparrow edition with notes index and appendices makes available Dreiser's powerful account of a difficult childhood spent struggling to rise out of impoverished and sordid surroundings.

Jennie Gerhardt
433 pages with frontispiece. Small octavo 7 1/2" x 5 1/4" bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and cover with black design in original jacket. First edition in first state binding and second state text.<br /><br /><i>Jennie Gerhardt</i> was Theodore Dreiser's second novel and his first true commercial success. Today it is generally regarded as one of his three best novels along with <i>Sister Carrie</i> and <i>An American Tragedy</i>. As submitted to Harper and Brothers in 1911 Jennie Gerhardt was a powerful study of a woman tragically compromised by birth and fate. Harpers agreed to publish the book but was nervous about its subject matter and moral stance. Jennie has an illegitimate child by one man and lives out of wedlock with another - but Dreiser does not condemn her for her behavior. As a requirement for publication Harpers insisted on cutting and revising the text. Although Dreiser fought against many of the cuts and succeeded in restoring some material Harpers shortened the text by 16000 words and completely revised its style and tone. These changes ultimately transformed Jennie Gerhardt from a blunt carefully documented work of social realism to a touching love story merely set against a social background. Passages critical of organized religion and of the institution of marriage were reduced and altered. Perhaps most important Jennie's point of view - her innate romantic mysticism - was largely edited out of the text. As a consequence the central dialectic of the novel was skewed and the narrative thrown out of balance.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Cloth spine lightly sunned with some rubbing previous owner's signatures to front blank and rear paste down.

DREISER Theodore 1871 1945
Autograph letter signed "Theodore Dreiser" to Geoffrey Parsons of the New York Herald Tribune New York 1 May 1931
Two pages 4to. On Dreiser's letterhead. Small stain on verso otherwise in fine condition. Dreiser writes in to Geoffrey Parsons the editor of the New York Herald Tribune from 1924-1952 describing a writing submission that he has attached with the letter: "Your general and varied courtesies to me but more particularly the general fairness with which you have regarded my views. make me mindful of things which may be entertaining to your readers. The enclosed letter and . which . well be entitled Fifty Million Frenchmen . in my estimation one such bit. If you agree you are welcome to it for your Sunday paper. All I ask is that you hold it for three weeks by which time L'Ordre will have had time to publish or discard it if they see fit. I am -- Yours truly Theodore Dreiser" In 1931 Dreiser became actively involved in the American Writers' League as well as the National Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoners. During this year he also published Dawn: An Autobiography of Early Youth and Tragic America. Dreiser described having a complex relationship with news publications during the 1930s. He stated in 1936 that "many newspapers" had "glossed over" his political views. Nonetheless Dreiser did contribute several interviews as well as poems and book reviews to the New York Herald Tribune during Geoffrey Parsons' term as editor. In an interview given to the Tribune the month before this letter Dreiser discussed dissatisfaction with the Hollywood film adaptation of Tragic America retitled An American Tragedy Frederic E. Rusch and Donald Pizer eds. Theodore Dreiser: Interviews pp. 329 2004. Dreiser's use of the title "Fifty Million Frenchmen" is likely a reference to the 1929 Broadway musical of the same name with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The piece referred to here as "Fifty Million Frenchmen" was not published as such in either the New York Herald Tribune or in any other newspaper. He published another letter to the editor in the Tribune in February of 1932 replying to a review of Tragic America.

Jennie has an illegitimate child by one man and lives out of wedlock with another - but Dreiser does not condemn her for her behavior. As a requirement for publication Harpers insisted on cutting and revising the text. Although Dreiser fought against many of the cuts and succeeded in restoring some material Harpers shortened the text by 16000 words and completely revised its style and tone. These changes ultimately transformed Jennie Gerhardt from a blunt carefully documented work of social realism to a touching love story merely set against a social background. Passages critical of organized religion and of the institution of marriage were reduced and altered. Perhaps most important Jennie's point of view - her innate romantic mysticism - was largely edited out of the text. As a consequence the central dialectic of the novel was skewed and the narrative thrown out of balance.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Cloth spine lightly sunned with some rubbing previous owner's signatures to front blank and rear paste down.
