Best.-Nr. BB110256Two volumes with identical half leather bindings bindings with damages but still attractive. Goldprint and decorations on the spine. In -4 25 x 21 cm. Complete set of two volumes. From the female author Naatje van Streek-Brinkman. With provenance Museum Willem Twee initiated by bookdealer Anthony van Tetroode in The Hague. 12 songs of Virgil's Aneis with explanations Aanteekeningen.First volume with stamp on the flyleaf of Museum Willem Twee 's Gravenhage and the name A.J. van Tetroode. Stamp on the titlepage top right of Bibl. Gymn. Soc. Jesu Amstelodam IHS Jesuits Jezuïeten.Second volume with stamp on the flyleaf of the same former museum but then in French: Musée Guillaume-Deux à La Haye.NL Museum Willem Twee was een museum in Den Haag. Het museum werd opgericht door boekhandelaar Anthony A.J. van Tetroode Toon Tetteroo ook wel Tetterode die een bewonderaar was van deze koning. Het museum was gevestigd aan de Lange Voorhout en werd geopend in 1856 zeven jaar na de dood van de koning. Het museum heeft op die locatie slechts een jaar bestaan. Baron van Brienen kocht in 1858 het perceel en bouwde er een grote woning een paleis dat het latere Hotel Des Indes zou worden. Van Tetroode adverteerde voor zijn commerciële activiteiten met de aanduiding ""Museum Willem Twee"" soms met de Franstalige naam Musée Guillaume-Deux. Wat er gebeurde met de inboedel van het museum is niet bekend.Dichteres Naatje van Streek-Brinkman werd geroemd om haar nauwgezette vertaling van de oorspronkelijke tekst door Virgilius waarbij ze dicht bij de oorspronkelijke tekst bleef. In een recensie uit 1809 in DBNL staat dat zij de oude dichter weer terug gegeven heeft zoals hij is met alle schone vindingen en nu en dan schrik-verhevene beschrijvingen. Vooral de vertaling van het stuk waar Aeneas langs de Italiaanse kunst Sicilië nadert de beschrijving van de vuurbrakende Etna en de bedolven reus Encelades worden geroemd. Naar algemeen oordeel waren de vertalingen van Vondel en Westerbaen niet geheel gelukt en was dit de beste vertaling in het Nederlands. Naatje Brinkman Anna Catharina Brinkman 1760-1828 trouwde 1784 met Coenraad van Streek en berijmde ook de vertaling van de Fransche Catechismus. Ze was in 1800 redactrice van de Constitutioneele opregte Woensd. Bataafsche Courant. Ze gaf in 1804 een roman in 2 delen uit: Charakaters en lotgevallen van Adelson Heloïse en Elius nabootsing van La Nouvelle Heloïse van Rousseau en van de romans van Wolff en Deken. Zij dichtte op de ramp van Leiden 1807 en begroette koning Lodewijk met een welkomstgroet na de watersnood in 1809 en in 1813 De Souvereine Vorst enz. hardcover

2010Best.-Nr. 5457Tokyo: Hayakawa Books 2010. First Edition. A key translation by Haruki Murakami of Chandler's sixth novel - the apex of 20th century detective fiction winner of the Edgar Award for Best Novel in 1955 and basis for Robert Altman's 1973 film starring Elliott Gould and Sterling Hayden. While Murakami is world-renowned for his fiction and essays he has enjoyed a parallel career doing translation work including translations of Raymond Carver F. Scott Fitzgerald J.D. Salinger Ursula K. LeGuin and Truman Capote. His biographer and primary translator Jay Rubin notes Murakami developed a fondness for hard-boiled literature while attending high school in Kobe devouring works by Chandler Ross Macdonald and Ed McBain and Murakami himself acknowledged his debt to Chandler's influence on his novel A Wild Sheep Chase: "The structure of A Wild Sheep Chase was deeply influenced by the detective novels of Raymond Chandler. I am an avid reader of his books and have read some of them many times. I wanted to use his plot structure in my new novel. This mean first of all that the protagonist would be a lonely city dweller. He would be searching for something. In the course of his search he would become entangled in various kinds of complicated situations. And when he finally found what he was looking for it would already have been ruined or lost. This is obviously Chandler's method and it is what I wanted to use in A Wild Sheep Chase. One West Coast reader saw the connection. Referring to Chandler's The Big Sleep he called my novel The Big Sheep. I felt honoured by this" Rubin Haruki Murakami and the Music of Words p.81. Uncommon one of a few signed copies offered through Japanese bookstores to promote the new translation. Hubin p.76. First Impression. Octavo 15.75cm; pale grayish-green wrappers with titles printed in dark purple; dustjacket and publisher's original wraparound advertising band; 67-64511pp; text is entirely in Japanese.
