1966Best.-Nr. 140604Los Angeles: Expanding Cinema 1966. Shooting final for the 1966 film. Copy belonging to actor Peter Haskell with his holograph annotations throughout and his shooting schedule laid in. Mary Ellen Bute's final film and one of the only cinematic adaptations of James Joyce's masterfully complex work of fiction "Finnegans Wake." Shot over a two year period Bute was tasked with transforming Joyce's impenetrable prose without losing any of the work's surreal lyrical essence. The subsequent film maintains the original novel's oneiric style. Bute and her husband Ted Nemeth were longtime collaborators and Nemeth worked as both cinematographer and producer of the film. In 1965 it was honored at the Cannes Film Festival as Best Debut and remains Bute's sole feature length film. Shot on location in New York City and Dublin. Brown untitled wrappers. Title page present dated March 4 1963 and December 3 1962 noted as Shooting Final with credits for screenwriters Mary Ellen Bute Romana Javitz and T. J. Nemeth Jr and editor A.I.M.S.

Uncommon First Edition in jacket. Finnegans Wake is groundbreaking work of modernist literature that challenges conventional narrative forms and explores the complexities of language history and the human psyche. he novel breaks down traditional linguistic structures creating a text that is both elusive and rich in meaning. The story is presented in a cyclical structure reflecting Joyce’s view of history as repetitive and fluid while its dream-like quality mirrors the erratic flow of consciousness. Drawing on a vast array of cultural literary and historical references Finnegans Wake engages with profound philosophical questions about the nature of language identity and reality. This intertextual and experimental novel defies simple interpretation inviting readers to explore its layers of meaning and challenging the boundaries of what a novel can achieve. A cornerstone of 20th-century literature Finnegans Wake has had a lasting influence on both literary theory and creative expression making it a pivotal work for those interested in the intersections of language philosophy and narrative innovation.

Unsurprisingly for a book with such a chequered publication history there are a number of typographical differences from earlier editions. Despite Joyce correcting the proofs while on holiday in Copenhagen in early 1936 several mistakes were later spotted. The bibliography by Peter Pertzoff had been submitted without further corrections or acknowledgment from Joyce. Pertzoff was apparently surprised to see it appear inaccuracies and all in this edition.The typography and design was overseen by Allen Lane and Joyce's representative Paul Leon. Eric Gill was commissioned to design the binding of this edition with its iconic Homeric bow on the upper board.Slocum & Cahoon A23. hardcover

1926Best.-Nr. 24099Paris: Shakespeare and Company 1926. The first printing of Ulysses to have the type entirely reset work accomplished with Joyce’s participation the 8th printing overall and one of the key Shakespeare and Company printings very early and desirable. Small 4to in a handsome contemporary binding of three-quarter dark-blue morocco over blue cloth boards the spine divided by bands ruled in gilt one compartment lettered in gilt. The original blue wrappers printed in white as issued by Shakespeare and Company in Paris are bound in at the front and back. 6 735 pp. A very desirable copy in contemporary binding the paper still quite fresh and all very sturdy and sound. A handsome book with only light evidence of age. ONE OF THE KEY PRINTINGS BY SYLVIA BEACH’S SHAKESPEARE AND COMPANY OF THIS LANDMARK OF 20th CENTURY LITERATURE. It is the first reprinting of the work to use entirely reset type. The work was accomplished with Joyce’s participation. The copy is bound as is often found on printings of the period in a simple style designed to draw little attention to itself due the controversy of the text within. In all a highly collectable copy. ULYSSES can be viewed as the pinnacle of the Modernist movement and its impact on all subsequent western literature is unmistakable. Such writers as Virginia Woolf John Dos Passos William Faulkner Samuel Beckett Malcolm Lowry and Anthony Burgess have all paid tribute consciously or unconsciously to Joyce's influence. Burgess as well pronounced it the greatest single work in the English literature of the century and he was not alone in that opinion. At the beginning of the present century the Modern Library placed ULYSSES in the number one spot on their 100 best books of the 20th century list. Shakespeare and Company hardcover

Preserved in an archival mylar cover. - "riverrun past Eve and Adam's" Finnegans Wake is James Joyce's final novel the culmination of seventeen years of experimentation that carried modernism to its outer limit. Conceived as a single night's dream encompassing all of human history it transforms the lives of a Dublin publican his wife and their children into an endlessly recursive myth of fall and renewal. Written in a polyglot language that fuses English with fragments from dozens of tongues the book compresses folklore theology and gossip into a dense musical weave that dissolves the boundaries between story song and history. Emerging after Ulysses as both its sequel and inversion Finnegans Wake rejected the realist novel entirely recasting fiction as a linguistic symphony meant to be heard as much as read. Its publication in 1939 divided critics and bewildered readers yet it soon became one of the central monuments of twentieth-century literature studied for its innovations in language structure and sound. Once dismissed as unreadable it has since shaped the methods of Beckett Burgess and Pynchon and remains unmatched in its ambition to encompass the whole of human speech within a single book.

1944Best.-Nr. 55458New York: Harcourt Brace and Company 1944. First printing. Near fine in a very good plus jacket. Inscribed first edition association copy of this effort to unpuzzle Joyce's famously inscrutable masterpiece - signed to the famed Jungian analyst Erlo van Waveren. Erlo van Waveren practiced psychotherapy in New York with his wife Ann for more than four decades. Both studied with Carl Jung and were regular attendees at the Jung Institute. Campbell himself was famously influenced by Jung and edited an edition of his work an influence heavily reflected in this Campbell's first book which investigates Joyce's "monomyth" an idea deeply indebted to the renowned psychologist's idea of the "collective unconscious." The van Waverans were also instrumental in the establishment of the Bollingen Series which published Campbell's most important work THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES. It was Elro and Ann who introduced Paul and Amy Mellon benefactors of the series to Jung after whose Bollingen Tower the series was named and whose work served as its driving influence. A warm and significant association. 8'' x 5.25''. Original green cloth boards. Original price-clipped yellow printed dust jacket. 2 xiv 366 2 pages. Inscribed by Campbell on the front endpaper: "For / Erlo van Waveren / unconscious and all / from / Joseph Campbell." Jacket with touches of sunning edgewear. Couple of faint spots of soll.

Best.-Nr. 2666Leningrad: Mysl’ 1927. 168 pp. 175 × 135 cm. In original illustrated wrappers. Spine and edges of covers restored otherwise very good and clean. First Russian edition of the work and early publication of James Joyce in the USSR. One of 5000 copies produced. Very rare in this condition. The book includes eleven of fifteen stories of Joyce’s collection. These selected stories from ‘Dublins’ became an early Soviet publication of the author skipping ahead only a fragment of “Ulysses” in 1925. Translation of ‘Dublins’ and writing of the foreword were undertaken by E. Fedotova. The full content of this work came out in the Soviet Union in 1937. Other writings by James Joyce began to be published in the late 1960s. The cover design was designed by Georgy Fitingof 1905—1975. He was born to an old Baltic noble family that lived in St. Petersburg and stayed there after the Revolution. Fitingof graduated from the All- Russian Academy of Arts in 1926. He studied at the workshop of Alfred Eberling. Fitingof is one of the founders of the Leningrad school of painting and is best known as a graphic artist watercolor painter postcard designer illustrator of children’s adventure books including works by J. Verne M. Twain G. Wells and others. In 1934 because of his family he was arrested and imprisoned. Although he was released in 1935 the artist came back to Leningrad a little later. He survived the whole siege of Leningrad and took part in an exhibition in 1942. This cover design is his early work he embarked on soon after the graduation from the Academy. In the Soviet Union Joyce had supporters and their opponents. Writer V. Vishnevsky had met Joyce in Paris in the 1930s and told him about Soviet publications. Joyce was pleasantly surprised. Vishnevsky also entered into polemics about Joyce and his significance with literary critic V. Kirshon. “You are behaving rudely. Try to read Joyce of three periods: 1912 1922 1932—1933 give an analysis and make a public assessment of the object that you find so disturbing and irritating. You’re talking fervently about classical inheritance. Obviously the inheritance suddenly ends in Chekhov and then. there is a general forbidden zone! There is a world humanity classes there is a struggle. There is art Chaplin Griffith Joyce Proust Barbusse Giraudoux Remarque Rolland Wells Tagore Kipling etc. It is complex there are continuous collisions and changes in it”.
