réf. 9786555251005EDITORA 34. new. Em 6 de fevereiro de 1924 ao desembarcar do vapor Le Formose no porto de Santos Blaise Cendrars come��ava uma aventura que transformaria a fundo o curso de sua vida. Fazia jǭ algum tempo que o poeta franco-su���o autor de textos cǸlebres como A prosa do Transiberiano de 1913 buscava tomar alguma dist�ncia dos c�rculos da vanguarda parisiense. O convite de Oswald de Andrade e Paulo Prado vinha bem a calhar: depois de suas trǭgicas experi�ncias durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial e da frustra��o de seus planos cinematogrǭficos Cendrars n�o podia sen�o acolher de bom grado a oportunidade de passar seis meses ao sol dos tr��picos. O que acontece nos seis meses seguintes merece ser chamado de prodigioso. Praticando de caso pensado certa inoc�ncia e certa ignor�ncia programǭticas diante do pa�s que mais tarde chamaria de sua ""segunda pǭtria espi��ritual"" Cendrars observa pergunta anota � e verte o que v� e aprende em breves anota����es poǸticas escritas num estilo que flerta com a concis�o moderna do telegrama e com a prosa dos relatos de viagem ao Novo Mundo. Nascia assim este Diǭrio de bordo que o autor come��aria a publicar ainda em 1924 de volta a Paris. Pujante e solar de um lirismo despojado e curioso diante do mundo ao redor Diǭrio de bordo n�o tinha como n�o marcar a gera��o de poetas modernistas brasileiros que Cendrars conheceu e �� qual dedicou sua �ltima grande empresa poǸtica. Esta nova tradu��o publicada no centenǭrio da Semana de Arte Moderna recolhe a totalidade dos poemas vinculados a Diǭrio de bordo e inclui diversos textos dispersos e inǸditos. EDITORA 34 unknown
réf. 9788535913118CIA DAS LETRAS. new. "O Loteamento do C�u"" � o quarto e �ltimo volume das Mem�rias de Blaise Cendrars embora seu conte�do possa desconcertar os leitores que esperam relatos objetivos de fatos historicamente comprovados dentro e fora da vida do autor. O pr�prio Cendrars j� havia advertido os numerosos e �vidos f�s de seus tr�s t�tulos memorial�sticos anteriores que com seu novo livro ""a viagem continua mas pelas vias do mundo interior"". Este � o volume mais surpreendente da s�rie com sua escrita raps�dica abundante e sinuosa que n�o cessa de intrigar a cr�tica e fascinar seus admiradores. A caprichosa arquitetura do livro re�ne tr�s partes com absoluta autonomia tem�tica e estil�stica. O resultado � um livro ainda hoje moderno e absolutamente �nico. CIA DAS LETRAS unknown

1972réf. 202000333Peter Owen London 1972. First edition. Condition: Near fine in very good plus dust jacket. Book has very light bumps at corners. Dust jacket has light edge and corner wear slight creasing at spine light soiling on rear cover price clipped. Planus is the second book of a remarkable autobiographical series written by Blaise Cendrars to be published in English. Like the first volume in this series The Astonished Man it is full of verve humour and excitement and it gives some unique glimpses of Cendrars himself. As one English reviewer once put it 'The whole world seems to have belonged to Blaise Cendrars' an impression vividly confirmed in these crowded pages. He recounts here his adventures in various parts of Europe: his visit to a brothel in Antwerp with its hilarious description of the obese prostitute Rij who would say 'You can't bungle it with me. I am not shaped like a circumflex accent a man can ride me astride or side-saddle'; his voyage as a deck-hand on a Greek dinghy smuggling wine into Italy; a great brawl in an Amsterdam restaurant; his meeting in Paris with his literary hero Rémy de Gourmont; together with anecdotes about Picasso Modigliani and others. Planus is rich in incident brilliant in style disarmingly uninhibited. It will be relished by Cendrars' large circle of English admirers and should capture still more. Peter Owen hardcover

Dust jacket has edge and corner wear spine has light creasing light soiling on rear cover price clipped. Born in Chaux-de-Fonds Switzerland in 1887 Blaise Cendrars ran away from home when he was just fifteen to work for a jewel merchant. He traveled with the merchant through Russia Persia and China. Cendrars who was educated in Naples Italy finally settled in St. Petersburg to work as an apprentice to a clockmaker. Fighting for the French in World War I Cendrars lost his right arm but taught himself to type left-handed. Cendrars wrote his first long poem Easter in New York in the United States. And his first novel L'Or which focused on the California gold rush was eventually made into the American movie Sutter's Gold. Cendrars chronicled his experiences in Hollywood in articles for Paris-Soir; the articles were published as a book Hollywood: Mecca of the Movies in 1995. Other Cendrars titles include Christmas at the Four Corners of the Earth Rhum and Lice. Cendrars's novels earned him a worldwide reputation and one of France's highest literary honors the Prix Litteraire de la Ville de Paris. Considered a prime catalyst of the modernist movement Cendrars also wrote poems plays and short stories. Cendrars died in 1961 at the age of 74. Peter Owen hardcover
