1916réf. 2940New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. First edition. Very Good. A Very Good copy with bright gilt on the spine. Shelfwear to extremities. Front inner hinge tender but holding. Some offsetting to front endpaper and early ownership signature to front pastedown. Page 16 with slight skinning affecting several lines of text. Joyce's first novel recounts the coming of age story of Stephen Dedalus the artistic alter-ego of Joyce himself. Stephen grows up ensconced in rigid institutions: the church school system family and national politics. Feeling trapped Stephen experiences a series of awakenings as he grows older and as a result of these awakenings Stephen rejects these traditional bulwarks of Irish culture. Instead he develops an aestheticism that will support his artistic vision. This rejection of existing communities and institutions alongside his embrace of a new aestheticism alienates Stephen from what he knows. Facing this alienation Stephen decides to leave Ireland and pursue his art abroad. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is an important contribution to literary modernism. One innovation is Joyce's use of age-appropriate syntax and vocabulary. The beginning of the novel which starts in Stephen's infancy is mostly monosyllabic nonsense. As Stephen grows older and grasps more about the world and his place in it the novel's vocabulary and syntax become correspondingly complex. Of Joyce's first novel H.G. Wells writes that "It is a mosaic of jagged fragments that does altogether render with extreme completeness the growth of a rather secretive imaginative boy in Dublin. The technique is startling but on the whole it succeeds." Very Good. B. W. Huebsch unknown books

1916réf. 152253New York: B.W. Huebsch 1916. First American edition of Joyce’s classic stream-of-consciousness work his first novel. Octavo original publisher's blue cloth titles stamped in blind to the front panel. In very good condition. Housed in a custom hand-painted board slipcase in good condition. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man New York 1916; London 1917 is the first novel of James Joyce 1882-1941 and one of the foundational texts of literary modernism a semi-autobiographical Bildungsroman tracing the intellectual spiritual and artistic development of Stephen Dedalus from earliest childhood through his rejection of Irish Catholicism nationalism and family obligation and his determination to pursue his vocation as an artist in voluntary exile from everything that had formed him. Originally composed as the abandoned manuscript Stephen Hero beginning in 1904 the novel was radically reconceived and rewritten in the stream of consciousness technique that would define Joyce's mature style serialized in Harriet Shaw Weaver's literary journal The Egoist from February 1914 to September 1915 before appearing in book form with its American publication by B.W. Huebsch preceding the British Egoist Press edition. The epitome of the modernist Bildungsroman the novel was controversial from the moment of its publication with contemporary readers finding its treatment of the minutiae of daily life indecorous and its central character unappealing while Ezra Pound accurately predicted that the book would remain a permanent part of English literature and H.G. Wells praised its originality and courage in the New Republic. It was chosen by Modern Library as one of 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century. B.W. Huebsch hardcover

réf. L3 box798 b3Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary Xin Hua2 Zi4 Dian3 Revised. This dictionary is combined and revised from Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary and Xin Hua2 Zi4 Dian3. By Peter C. Huang Joyce M. Huang; Editors: Frank C. Huang Jean J. Huang Faye F. Huang. 2011 Taius Press. Hardcover 1470 pages. 1. This dictionary is combined and revised from Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary and Xin Hua2 Zi4 Dian3. 2. The main character is in Chinese Traditional or Taiwan with simplified character adding counted stroke serial number phonetic alphabetic phonation and Pinyin into main character string. 3. Romanization is used in Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary Robert H. Mathews and Pinyin is used in Xin Hua2 Zi4 Dian3; the former is revised into Pinyin for main character's phonation. 4. The reason of using Pinyin to replace Romanization is that the former uses more English alphabets to represent the phonetic alphabets. Hence its phonation is more accurate. 5. Almost the whole part of Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary text is shifted into this dictionary. It collects Chinese characters and phrases along with English to the utmost and good for reference in translation reading and understanding. Xin Hua2 Zi4 Dian3 is in Pinyin and in Chinese-Chinese structure. They are referred and excerpted into this dictionary. Hence this dictionary covers all main characters from the said two dictionaries. 6. Used Pinyin is transliterated from Phonetic Alphabets the latter used for the phonation of Chinese traditional are the bases for Pinyin. hardcover

"Within a month of the publication the first printing of Ulysses Shakespeare and Company Paris 1922 was practically sold out and within a year Joyce had become a well-known literary figure. Ulysses was explosive in its impact on the literary world… Then began the great game of smuggling the edition into countries where it was forbidden especially England and the United States. The contraband article was transported across the seas and national borders in all sorts of cunning ways" de Grazia 27. In this edition the text of Joyce's great work is preceded by a foreword synopsis of the District Court decision and letter from Joyce to his publisher Bennett Cerf all discussing the extraordinary controversy surrounding the book's publication. In 1929 an unauthorized American edition of the novel appeared a piracy of the legitimate ninth printing of Shakespeare and Company. "This Random House edition was set up from the text of a copy of that pirated edition incorporating most of its typographical errors and adding a few new ones" Slocum A21. The United States' ban on Ulysses was not lifted until December 6th 1933; one month later the first authorized American edition was delivered to the public.

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
